As many healthcare providers transition toward a new normal, Windsong is also working hard to meet the needs of our community. As healthcare providers, we know all too well that the extended delay of certain preventive screening exams may be more harmful than the risk of COVID-19. To keep your patients S.A.F.E., we have taken the following extra steps:
- Social distancing
- Additional screening (temperature taking/interviewing)
- Facility safety (masking of patients and staff)
- Enhanced disinfectingPatient Visit Protocol
We are currently unable to accept patients with a fever, recent onset of cough, or flu-like symptoms.
We request that caregivers stay in the car unless they are absolutely required for patient assistance.Screening Mammography Update
