Updated April 26, 2023
Over the course of the last few months, we have seen COVID-19 community transmission levels decline, which has decreased the impact on our hospitals, patients, and staff. Because of this, we are updating our COVID-19 guidance.
Face masks are optional in our orthopaedic facilities. Providers, staff, patients, and visitors are no longer required to wear a face masks.
Anyone may choose to mask at their discretion. Masks will be available for those who choose to mask. Patients may request that their care team members mask during face-to-face encounters.
We will continue to monitor any changes in impact that COVID-19 is having on our community and will adjust our policies and procedures, if needed, to keep everyone safe.
