Queen's Medical Center changing policies after second COVID cluster

At Queen's Medical Center, we prioritize the health and safety of our patients, staff, and the community. In response to a second COVID cluster, we have implemented necessary changes and enhanced protocols to prevent further spread of the virus and ensure a safe environment for everyone.

Ensuring Patient Well-Being

Our primary focus is on the well-being of our patients. We have introduced rigorous screening measures, enhanced disinfection protocols, and implemented social distancing guidelines throughout our facility. These measures serve to minimize the risk of exposure and transmission of COVID-19 within our premises.

As part of our commitment to patient safety, we have limited visitor access to our hospital. This temporary restriction helps reduce the potential for exposure to the virus and safeguards the health of both patients and visitors. We understand the importance of family and social support, and we offer alternative means of communication to stay connected with loved ones during this time.

Protecting Our Dedicated Staff

We deeply value our dedicated staff, who are at the frontline of patient care. To safeguard their well-being, Queen's Medical Center has implemented comprehensive measures. Our healthcare professionals receive regular updates on the latest guidelines and protocols from reputable health organizations to ensure they provide the highest level of care while minimizing the risk of infection.

In addition, we have equipped our staff with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize the risk of exposure. Regular testing and health monitoring are also part of our protocols to identify and manage any potential cases promptly.

Patient Education and Support

At Queen's Medical Center, we believe that awareness and education play a vital role in preventing the spread of COVID-19. We provide our patients with accurate and up-to-date information about the virus, including preventive measures, symptoms to watch out for, and steps to take if they suspect they have been exposed to the virus.

Our healthcare professionals are available to address any concerns or questions patients may have. We offer telemedicine services to ensure that patients can access medical advice and care remotely, reducing the need for unnecessary in-person visits and minimizing exposure risks.

Community Partnership

We recognize that fighting against COVID-19 requires the collective effort of the entire community. Queen's Medical Center actively collaborates with local authorities, public health agencies, and other healthcare providers to share knowledge and resources, ensuring a coordinated response to the pandemic.

We participate in community outreach programs, providing education and support to promote public health awareness. By working together, we can overcome the challenges posed by COVID-19 and protect the health and well-being of our community.

Conclusion

Queen's Medical Center remains dedicated to adapting and implementing evidence-based strategies to combat COVID-19. We stay committed to providing exceptional healthcare services while prioritizing the safety and well-being of our patients and staff.

With a focus on continuous improvement and following the latest guidelines, Queen's Medical Center is determined to navigate through this challenging time while ensuring the highest standard of care for all who seek our services.
