Clarinda, Iowa | 11.12.2020
We are all in this together and it takes everyone working together to protect each other during this COVID-19 pandemic. Please do your part…wear a mask, wash your hands, stay home when you are sick, social distance, and please get your flu shot.
Everyone at Clarinda Regional Health Cent (CRHC) also wants to reassure our community that our patient's and staff’s safety is our highest priority. As we are seeing drastic increases in COVID-19 cases we feel it necessary to make some adjustments in the way we are operating. We fully understand the difficult nature of the changes to our visitor and entrance procedures, which are listed below, especially to anyone who has friends or family currently in our care. We feel strongly that this is in the best interest of everyone as we do everything we can to prevent the spread of COVID-19. So, beginning tomorrow, 11/13/2020 and until 12/1/2020, the following things will be in effect:
- Our dining hall and Gift Shop will be closed
- All volunteer activity inside the hospital has been suspended
- We continue to screen every person upon entry into the building. Masks are and have been REQUIRED for all persons and staff inside our facility for quite some time. This will continue to be enforced. If you have a medical or psychological condition preventing you from wearing a mask, please let our scheduling staff know so accommodations can be made.
- If during your screening at our front entrance you disclose that you have exhibited symptoms, such as cough, fever, loss of taste/smell, or respiratory issues, and are not in any kind of distress OR are not here to seek medical treatment for your symptoms, you will be asked to go home and self-isolate.
- We are limiting visitors and enforcing a ONE visitor per patient (per stay) policy. This means:
- Every in-patient in our care is allowed one approved visitor for the duration of the inpatient stay.
- For patients under 18 years old – 1 parent or guardian and please do not bring siblings.
- For patients having outpatient surgery or procedures – 1 support person
- For patients at end of life – A support person will be determined on a case by case basis
- Emergencies don’t wait. If you have an emergency, we’re here, safe, and ready for you. Call 911 or get to an Emergency Department immediately.
Thank you for your understanding and compassion during this time. We will continue to provide updates on our COVID-19 response page on ClarindaHealth.com or via our social media page(s).
