Additional Precautions We Are Taking
We have strong protocols in place and are following all guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to ensure a safe environment, including:
- Every patient, visitor, vendor, employee and physician will self-screen before entering
- Those entering Texas Orthopedic Hospital are required to wear a mask at all times (except when eating or drinking).
- The CDC emphasized that the new masking recommendations for people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 do NOT apply to health care settings.
- As such, staff, patients, residents and visitors should continue to wear masks as recommended in all healthcare facilities. More information is available here
- Points of entry to our facilities have been limited
- Visitor restrictions have been instituted in patient care areas ( Click here for Texas Orthopedic Hospital’s current visitor restrictions)
- We have done, and continue to do, deep cleaning throughout all of our care sites.
