Throughout the pandemic, Hawthorn Medical has been committed to safe patient care, testing and caring for patients with suspected COVID, and now vaccinating staff and patients. Safety: All patients coming into the building must wear a mask/face covering. Patients will be screened before entering our facilities. They will be asked about symptoms and have their temperature checked. Anyone reporting symptoms will be further evaluated by a member of our COVID nurse response team. We are also limiting the number of visitors who can accompany patients to appointments. If this is a concern, please call your doctor’s office.
Testing: Patients having COVID-related symptoms will be directed to our Urgent Care Center. The patient will be evaluated at a visit with 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 reasons 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: Initial shipments of COVID vaccines are being administered to our frontline clinical staff. As more vaccines are received, we will continue to follow the DPH Phased Vaccination Plan.
When we reach Phase Two, patients will be notified by telephone, with additional information on our web and social media sites, when their vaccinations can take place. We are starting a regular information campaign that will update patients on a regular basis as well as posting up-to-date information on this site. We appreciate your patience.
