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 community.
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 call ahead. 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 cares, 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. Advise your healthcare provider if you have traveled to these affected countries.
If you have symptoms consistent with COVID-19, follow the steps below to help prevent the disease from spreading to people in your home and community:
