Although #COVID-19 has brought unprecedented change to many aspects of life, our Emergency Department remains a safe place for those needing medical attention. We are here for you and no one will ever be denied care. At Southlake, we’re #byyourside. https://t.co/Irg4NjCrpM
#ICYMI we discharged our first very sick COVID patient on Thursday. Staff lined the hallways and clapped for her on her way out while her husband and babies waited for her outside. Full story: https://t.co/NXjHNYvNos
#byyourside
We've had a few recent incidents of patients/families not being truthful about travel. Please don’t lie if you have travelled recently or been in contact with someone who's sick – you will still get care. By not being honest you are potentially exposing healthcare workers.
If you think you have 2019 novel #coronavirus symptoms or have been in close contact with someone who has it, @PublicHealthON has a self-assessment to help you determine if you need to seek further care. https://t.co/OrZnWPuQr8 #COVID19
To our Volunteers: as COVID-19 continues to spread, effective March 16, we're pausing our Volunteer program at all hospital sites including our Gift Shop.
