COVID-19: Latest Information And Resources
When To Go To The Hospital
In emergency or life-threatening situations, the hospital is the best place to go for the care you need — even if cases of COVID-19 are surging in your community. But avoid going to a hospital emergency department for symptoms or conditions that can be treated by your primary care provider or an urgent care center.
Treatment for COVID-19
If you recently tested positive for COVID-19, there are treatments that can prevent your symptoms from getting worse and keep you out of the hospital.
Tips for Telehealth Visits
Telehealth became popular during the pandemic, and now it’s here to stay. These tips can help you get more out of your next virtual visit.
While admitted to the Hospital at Home program, you will be connected with your care team round-the-clock through the use of devices that will allow for vital sign monitoring and telemedicine visits.
Before you are discharged from the Hospital at Home, your care team will work with you to determine and coordinate what, if any, further services you may need.
