Keeping You Safe for Surgery
• If day of surgery you feel sick or are exhibiting any signs or symptoms of illness such as fever, chills, cough, sore throat, difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, loss of taste or smell, or extreme fatigue; please DO NOT report and call the surgery center
• A face mask is required for all persons entering the facility
• Please perform hand hygiene upon arrival to our registration desk
• All areas are cleaned between each patient
• Seating is limited in our waiting room in attempts to maintain 3-6’ social distancing
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth as much as possible to prevent potential contamination of surfaces
• When possible cover your cough or sneeze into a tissue, place tissues directly into the trash can and perform hand hygiene
Facility Screening and Testing
• Prior to your day of surgery, you will be interviewed over the phone by a member of our pre-anesthesia staff. For your safety and for the safety of all of our patients/staff, please provide honest answers to our questions and or any recent COVID exposures or illnesses, as additional testing may be recommended such as 3-5 days for vaccinated and 5-7 days for unvaccinated.
• All vaccinated and unvaccinated patients will be screened and must undergo preop COVID testing as per the facility guidelines. Please be patient with our staff, as COVID testing guidelines are subject to frequent changes pending Delaware and CDC guidelines.
• Upon arrival to our facility you and your ride will be screened for COVID-19 symptoms and a temperature check performed.
