St. Mary's Health Care System is taking a thoughtful and careful approach to resuming all services. We continue to be informed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local guidelines. We offer these services to you and other patients and caregivers while minimizing COVID-19-related risks.

If you are feeling sick, have a preexisting condition or have a chronic disease, we want to make sure you do not postpone care that you need to get healthy and stay well.

For visits such as routine check-ups, we are continuing to follow CDC guidelines and will help you reschedule your appointment. If you’d prefer to be seen from the comfort of your own home, find a virtual care option that works best for you.

To reduce the risk of spread of COVID-19, we've set up COVID-Free zones in our facilities for all patients who are receiving non-COVID-related care. COVID-Free Zones are areas where we provide care only for people not known to have COVID-19 or COVID symptoms.

To keep you and your family safe, we provide and require masks for all colleagues, patients, and visitors at our facilities.

We continue to limit visitors at our facilities and on our campuses. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis. All visitors must be screened and are required to wear masks. Read the entire visitation policy

All patients scheduled for elective procedures will receive a COVID-19 test prior to the surgery/procedure. If a patient tests positive, the procedure will be postponed until a negative result is obtained. At the time of a negative test result, the procedure will continue as planned in the COVID-Free Zone. COVID-Free Zones are areas where we provide care only for people not known to have COVID-19 or COVID symptoms.

Your safety is our utmost concern. Safety is one of our core values and a top priority. Learn more about our commitment to your safety.

We've set up COVID-19 Free Zones to keep COVID-19+ patients separate from others. We have the needed personal protective equipment (PPE), screening and testing in place for all patient care facilities. Appropriate testing, workforce, and supplies are monitored daily, and we continue to clean and disinfect high touch surfaces to prevent transmission of the virus following the CDC's standards for COVID-19 safety.

You may be afraid anytime you need to visit a hospital or receive medical care, and we understand this is a more concerning time than usual. We are here for you and are committed to keeping you safe while you get the medical care you need.

Virtual Care is available from the comfort of home. You can also call your physician for an appointment or to schedule a surgery, procedure or in-person visit.

We are taking a thoughtful and careful approach to resuming all surgeries and procedures. Our re-opening is informed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local guidelines.

Emergency surgeries will continue.
