Notice to our patients about COVID-19

Hawthorn is committed to providing care for our patients in an environment that is safe.

All patients coming into the building must wear a mask/face covering and will be screened before entering our facilities.

Testing: Patients having COVID-related symptoms will be directed to our Urgent Care Center. The patient will be evaluated by a provider before COVID testing is done. The Urgent Care does not perform COVID testing on asymptomatic individuals.

Patients who do not have any symptoms and are requesting COVID testing due to exposure or travel should contact their Hawthorn PCP to be scheduled for testing in our drive-through Medical Garage. All testing done in the garage is by appointment only.

Vaccinations: The Governor of Massachusetts has announced that four of the State’s mass vaccination sites will be phased out by the end of June and replaced with smaller scale operations that are more convenient and accessible. In our area there are several pharmacies in Dartmouth, Fairhaven, Fall River and New Bedford that are providing vaccinations. The former Circuit City site in Dartmouth remains open at this time. Details about sites and setting up an appointment can be found on the State’s web site at vaxfinder.mass.gov. You can call 2 1 1 for assistance.

Hawthorn Medical periodically receives a supply of vaccines. When available, vaccines can be given to patients while they are here for an appointment or they can be scheduled for one of our vaccine clinics. For more information about availability and scheduling, patients can call their doctor’s office.
