As hospitals across the country continue to manage the challenges associated with COVID-19, at Heartland Regional Medical Center, we are prepared to offer the same compassionate care our neighbors expect, with new enhanced infection control protocols.
Some of these precautions include separate care areas for COVID-19 positive patients and non-COVID-19 patients, routine temperature checks of staff, universal masking, visitor restrictions and more. As an extra precaution, we follow state guidelines for elective procedures that require a person to have a negative COVID-19 test prior to surgery.
