Clinics open to business as usual

Community Memorial Hospital and CMH Raiter Family Clinic are open and back to operating at nearly 100 percent, while following all necessary guidelines to ensure the safety of patients and staff, officials said this week.

Patients are strongly encouraged to schedule appointments for procedures and office visits that were put on hold during the past few months. Officials said it is especially critical for anyone who may be experiencing symptoms of potentially serious health conditions, such as heart problems or stroke. It is also very important to not let routine screenings for preventive care lapse, like cancer screenings or immunizations.

“Our community can be confident that Community Memorial Hospital has responded to the current crisis by following all measures that will guarantee the health and safety of patients and staff,” the hospital reported.
