If you have a scheduled appointment

Please arrive no earlier than 30 minutes in advance of your scheduled appointment. Patients are asked to self-screen upon entry to the hospital, wear a mask and use hand sanitizer. We will take you or you will be directed to your appointment, where we will talk about options for your care. If you have a support person, and he or she shows any symptoms during the screening process, they will not be allowed to come into the building. If you are unable to safely be in the hospital on your own, you may be required to reschedule your appointment.
