We’re Here for You, Let us safely care for all your medical needs

As PIH Health Good Samaritan Hospital remains at the forefront of the fight against the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we also want to remind you that we are open and available to treat all medical conditions, not just those related to the virus. Staying healthy is as important as ever and we are here to provide outstanding care for you and your loved ones.

Many elective and non-urgent surgeries and procedures were postponed during the initial weeks of this pandemic to preserve hospital beds and personal protective equipment. This was done to reserve space and supplies for an influx of COVID-19 patients. However, it also created the impression that the community should stay away from hospitals and physicians for fear of contracting the virus. As a result, we are seeing patients who did not seek help until their diseases had advanced to dangerous levels. Delaying care often leads to fewer treatment options and patients not returning to full health. We encourage you to come in or contact us to get the care you need now.

Do not put off getting care from your doctor – especially if you are experiencing concerning symptoms – any delay may be detrimental to your health. Our emergency department is open to care for all patients.

Measures Taken to Ensure Your Safety

For the safety and well-being of all our patients and health providers, PIH Health continues to implement the following safety measures:

• Everyone is screened (not tested) for COVID-19 and required to cleanse their hands and wear a simple mask before entering PIH Health Good Samaritan Hospital.
• Patients suspected of having COVID-19 are separated from all other patients and directed to a separate entrance and waiting area.
• Certain floors of our hospital are designated for treatment of COVID-19 patients only and staffed by a dedicated care team.
• Restrictions have been placed on visiting patients to limit the number of people in the facility.
• The Emergency Department lobby has been modified to practice social distancing.
• We follow the highest standards of infection prevention and sanitation practices.

We’re Here to Care for You

We appreciate the tremendous response and support that we have received from our community. Your efforts to stay at home and take precautions have made a significant impact in reducing the spread of the disease. Together we are flattening the curve.

Give your doctor a call to find out if a doctor visit is right for you or to discuss rescheduling a delayed procedure or surgery. If you experience heart attack or stroke symptoms, call 9-1-1 and do not delay a visit to the Emergency Department.
