Light Rain In-person care returns at St. John’s Hospital, Lawrence and Rockaway sites
Safety measures have been put in place at St. John’s Episcopal Hospital in Far Rockaway, the emergency room, and its outpatient primary and specialty care sites to help ensure the wellbeing of patients who want to see their health care provider in-person, hospital officials said.
St. John's outpatient primary and specialty care sites located across the peninsula, and the hospital's emergency department are open.
The hospital and its community practices have enacted several safety measures including:
Providing each patient and medical staff with appropriate personal protective equipment.
Practicing social distancing. Prescreening sick patients on the phone. Using separate entrances and exits for those who are ill when appropriate. Swabbing sick patients in parking lots when appropriate. Thoroughly disinfecting medical offices and medical equipment.
Separating patients with Covid-19 symptoms from other patients in the emergency room. Providing virus testing to patients before elective surgeries.
“We are committed to providing our patients with extraordinary care while maintaining the highest level of safety and sanitization at the hospital and our outpatient medical sites,” Karen Gleason, a nurse who is St. John’s chief quality officer, stated in a news release.
