Emerson Hospital Is Here for Your Health

We are excited to announce that preventive health care, routine health screenings such as mammograms, annual physical exams, colonoscopies, elective surgeries, and most services are now open at Emerson Hospital. Our primary care and specialty practices are fully operational.

It is now time to take care of your health. Call your doctor to schedule an appointment for services you have deferred. Emergency care and procedures continued safely throughout the pandemic. It is safe to come to the hospital and to consult with your doctor.

Keeping You Safe

• Screening/Masking: Everyone entering our facilities — staff, patients, and visitors — is screened for symptoms. They are required to sanitize their hands and wear a mask while in the hospital or office. Accommodations will be made for patients who cannot tolerate a mask.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): We have an ample supply of PPE and follow strict guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. All staff wear surgical masks. At times, they might wear a special N95 mask, gown, gloves, and face shield.
• Rigorous Cleaning: Frequent, thorough, and enhanced cleaning protocols have been implemented throughout the hospital and our off-site facilities. This includes disinfecting exam rooms, common areas, waiting rooms, rest rooms, and all equipment.
• Social Distancing: We continue to limit visitors in our facilities. We modified our reception areas to allow for social distancing, including plexiglass shields at check-in.
• Hand Hygiene: Hand sanitizer is available throughout the hospital and our offices so patients, visitors, and staff can clean their hands easily and frequently. We also encourage everyone to wash their hands with soap and water frequently.
• Virtual Visits: We continue to offer telehealth/virtual visits for patients when possible.
