About Coronavirus – COVID 19
Abrazo is utilizing a tiered approach for visitation allowing one support person for outpatient or inpatient procedures. We remain focused on patient and visitor safety, and the status of visitation could change based on ongoing COVID trends. Please check with individual facilities prior to visiting.
All visitors will need to abide by facility requirements for screening upon entry and wearing a mask at all times. Any visitor not meeting screening criteria will not be permitted to enter the hospital. All staff, physicians, patients and visitors are screened for COVID-19 symptoms before entering the hospital.
An exception to any limited visitation policy at the hospital is patients with disabilities who require support from family members or staff in order for them to effectively communicate with medical personnel or otherwise receive equal access to medical treatment.
We’re here for you, your family and our community.
Abrazo Community Health Network works closely with the Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to respond to any potential novel coronavirus (COVID-19)
cases in our area. As the COVID-19 situation evolves, we take every precaution to keep you, your family, our staff and our community safe.
Our COVID SAFETY Standards
COVID SAFETY standards are built upon deep clinical expertise from previous crises and on-going management of COVID-19, as well as continuous incorporation of CDC, CMS and State recommendations. They are a rigorous combination of infection prevention
processes, training, testing, personal protective equipment and technology. Our COVID SAFE standards includes five components:
- Distinct COVID SAFETY and COVID CARE Zones – separate areas with clear signage and protocols
- Rigorous Physician and Staff Protocols – daily screening, universal masking and access to PPE
- Heightened Sanitization – enhanced cleaning of surfaces and plenty of hand sanitization stations
- Access to COVID-19 Testing – testing for patients, physicians and staff who require it
- Precautions for Patients and Visitors – provision of face masks, hand sanitizer and physical distancing
Additional Precautions
- All outside groups and other events are canceled until further notice.
- Entry into care sites is being limited. Anyone who enters will be screened carefully and requested to sanitize their hands.
- Valet services are currently closed.
Protocols continue to adapt in real-time to follow federal and local health agency guidelines.
