The Hospital is Safe!

Do not delay care if you need it. Our policies ensure your health and safety when you come to Emerson Hospital, our urgent care centers, or one of our practices. Our visitor policy limits access to the hospital to protect our patients and staff.

In the videos below, physicians and staff take you through the patient experience when you visit Emerson Hospital or our related physician offices.

Telehealth is Available for You!

During this stressful time, it is important to take care of yourself. A telehealth visit is a convenient way for you to consult with your doctor without having to go to the office. There are certain situations or conditions that require an in-office visit, however many appointments can happen over the phone or with video chat. Most Emerson doctors are available for telehealth visits for your health and well-being, which many insurance plans will cover.

COVID-19 Recovery Program

The COVID-19 Recovery Care Team at Emerson’s Clough Family Center for Rehabilitative and Sports Therapies helps patients recovering from COVID-19 understand their symptoms and work through their limitations to help them move beyond the virus. The program addresses the physical and cognitive decline that impacts strength, cardiovascular endurance, joint mobility, speech, swallowing, and cognition. Click here to learn more.
