You may have concerns about visiting the emergency room during the current health crisis in our community. At Garden Park Medical Center, we are taking many steps to keep both you and our colleagues safe in the event you or a loved one have a health emergency.
If you are experiencing a life-threatening health emergency, call 911 immediately.
We’re taking every precaution to keep you safe. These precautions begin before you even step into the emergency department. If you come to Garden Park’s emergency room, an experienced ER staff member will greet you. He or she will ask if you are having any respiratory problems or a fever.
You will see that all patients and ER staff wear masks. We are also utilizing technology such as telemedicine to allow you to speak to the ER physician while maintaining social distancing.
We also are keeping you separated from other patients. The symptoms you report when you first get here determine the area in which you will be treated. We have an area of the ER that is reserved for everyday patients that come in with broken bones, chest pains or other non-respiratory symptoms and conditions. We are keeping these patients separated from anyone with respiratory conditions.
Not sure if you need to visit the ER? Try our Garden Park Care Navigator , a tool to help you decide if your condition requires an emergency room visit or if a virtual visit with a healthcare professional is a better option.
The emergency department is currently allowing only one family member to accompany the patient. We will provide updates to anyone waiting outside by phone at the patient`s request. Any visitors must screen negative for COVID-19.
