Hospital Services
At UHS, we employ an experienced team of healthcare professionals, who work tirelessly to ensure patients receive the best possible treatment and care. This is our passion, purpose and privilege every day.
To address the worldwide concerns regarding COVID-19, we are working closely with state-level Departments of Health, Hospital Associations, and the CDC to ensure we are utilizing the proper protocols to screen, triage and test patients for COVID-19.
We have multiple processes instituted including visitor screening, hand hygiene vigilance, use of personal protective equipment (i.e., gloves, masks and gowns), and cleaning and disinfecting protocols, that are in place with the sole intent to keep you, your family, our employees, medical staff, volunteers and vendors safe.
Community education programs may be canceled/postponed; please see event details and follow us on our hospital Facebook pages for updates.
