Coronavirus
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Saint Agnes continues to perform essential surgeries and procedures for patients for whom a delay could cause harm. With safety being of one of our core values and a top priority, we have enhanced protocols in place to protect you and our caregivers throughout your stay. We are ready to provide care for select surgeries, procedures and other critical services.
COVID-Free Zones
Mask Requirements
Enhanced Cleaning
Symptom Screening
We are proceeding with a phased approach and continuing to follow CDC and state COVID-19 guidance regarding appropriate testing, workforce needs and supplies, which we are monitoring daily. In line with our core value of Safety, Saint Agnes will do all it can to provide a safe environment for patients, colleagues and physicians by establishing COVID-Free Zones to separate patients under investigation (PUI) or confirmed to have COVID-19 from others in our facilities. COVID-Free Zones are areas where we provide care only for people not known to have COVID-19 or COVID-19 symptoms.
Your health and safety are our top priorities, so be assured that Saint Agnes is taking all the necessary precautions to safely care for you and your loved ones with the high quality, compassionate care you deserve.
Seek medical advice if you develop symptoms and have been in close contact with a person known to have COVID-19. Call ahead before coming to any provider office, clinic, urgent care or emergency room. If it is a life-threatening emergency, call 9-1-1.
