Mission Health | Regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19) | Coronavirus Information For Parents
Due to the most recent uptick in the community of the flu and other respiratory illnesses, we are taking precautions to protect our most vulnerable populations.
Effective immediately, all visitors entering the NICU are required to wear a mask. Thank you for helping keep our babies well.
We want to reassure you, as always, that the health and safety of our patients, caregivers and communities is our top priority. Family-centered care is at the core of how we care for our littlest patients and their families, and we are well-equipped to handle your healthcare needs, big and small.
Whether you are in need of an emergency room visit to fix a broken bone, or require a treatment or procedure that keeps your child overnight, we are here to alleviate any fear or worry you might be feeling. And, when appropriate, we will deliver information in a way that ensures your child understands what’s happening as well.
Furthermore, robust procedures are in place to ensure that you and your child are safe when you are in our care. These enhanced precautions make sure that both our staff and patients are protected, and that our clinical care facilities are some of the safest possible places to receive healthcare at this time.
Please also continue to follow the current guidance from the CDC regarding social distancing and hand hygiene. Exercising these infection prevention measures will help keep you and your loved ones safe.
We will continue to go above and beyond to provide exceptional care and make your child’s experience as comfortable as possible.
Thank you for trusting us with the health of your family. We are here to ensure you receive the care you need today, for a healthier tomorrow.
Colby Colasacco, MD is the Pediatrics Service Line Leader
