At South Jersey Vascular, our highest priority is the health and peace of mind of our patients. We want to assure you that we are working with the appropriate agencies and providing training to our staff to properly care for all our patients.
We are prepared to remain OPEN and provide care to our patients in order to avoid any unnecessary hospital visits.
We want to take this opportunity to provide you with an update of what we are doing at SJVSC to ensure safety and well-being of our patients and staff.
We are screening all patients for the following:
- Fever greater than 100.4F or flu-like symptoms
- New onset cough
- Difficulty breathing
- Close contact with someone suspected or known to have Coronavirus over the past 14 days
If the patient meets any of the above criteria, they will not be scheduled and will be directed to speak to our Director of Nursing for further evaluation.
Daily Preventative Care: SJVSC will continue to follow our established infection control policies and procedures. This includes:
- Offering patients who are coughing in the waiting room a mask
- All rooms and patient equipment will be disinfected with appropriate disinfectant after each patient encounter
- Vigorous hand hygiene will continue to be practiced by all staff members
Patient Communication: Information regarding SJVSC’s infection control policies and procedures, as well as, our screening measures will be posted in our offices and on our website at (sjvascular.com).
We recognize that this situation is rapidly evolving and will continue to monitor the CDC recommendations and guidelines daily, along with our state and local health departments.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Margaret Sherman, Director of Nursing, at 856-482-2800. Stay Safe!
