COVID-19 Protocol- updated 8.11.2021
 

To ensure the safety of our patients and staff, we require that patients who are not fully vaccinated for Covid- 19 present evidence of a negative COVID-19 test administered within 7 days prior to surgery. At home test kits results will NOT be accepted.

​

The testing requirement is waived for patients who are fully vaccinated and do not show signs of Covid-19. Patients must present a copy of their vaccination card prior to surgery. People are considered fully vaccinated:

• 2 weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose series, such as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or

• 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine

If you don’t meet these requirements, you are NOT fully vaccinated.

​

In addition to adhering to CDC guidelines for PPE, sanitation, and social distancing, surgery center staff is in the process of being vaccinated for COVID-19.
