IF YOU ARE IN LABOR OR HAVE A SCHEDULED INDUCED LABOR:

If the patient is COVID-19 positive, they are delivered in our COVID-19 area in Labor and Delivery which has UV-C lights installed in the rooms as well as HEPA-filtration. We also have a dedicated COVID-19 operating room for Cesarean sections.

All scheduled Cesarean sections and inductions of labor are prescreened and tested for COVID-19 within 72 hours of their scheduled procedure.

Gowns, masks, head and foot covers and face shields are worn during all deliveries. N-95 masks are added for delivering the COVID-19 positive patient.

IF YOU ARE IN LABOR:

If you're in labor or your doctor instructs you to come to the hospital (not for a scheduled C-section or induced labor):

All employees are supplied with masks and proper personal protective equipment (PPE) appropriate for their level of patient interaction.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines are used for employees who have tested positive regarding their safe ability to return to work. Testing is available for all employees that have symptoms that may raise concern for COVID-19 infection.
