A MESSAGE FROM PROSPECT MEDICAL CEO SAM LEE TO OUR EMPLOYEES ON THE FRONT-LINE OF CARE
The health of our patients, visitors, employees and physicians is our highest priority. We are working closely with the public health agencies in our communities and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to respond to any potential coronavirus cases in our communities.
Our medical groups and hospitals are following the latest CDC and public agency guidelines and are prepared to identify, isolate and treat patients who seek care at our facility. Our staff also has received additional training.
If you are experiencing respiratory symptoms, please do not go directly to your doctor’s office, urgent care or hospital without calling first as many people can isolate at home without being evaluated in person (see additional guidance below).
In our doctors’ offices, hospitals and urgent care centers, we ask all arriving patients about any recent international travel and if they have any symptoms consistent with COVID-19, such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath. (links to list of countries) Advise your healthcare provider if you have traveled to these affected countries.
