OUR NEW NORMAL
We are in unprecedented times. With the ongoing spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) we, at Capital Center, are placing your health and well-being among our highest priorities.
As you will come into our AAAHC Surgical Center, we have established the following guidelines for patient and staff safety.
COVID 19 TESTING PRIOR SURGERIES
Because of the extreme risk for spreading COVID-19, we have established that treatments and surgeries of any patients where the procedure requires the use of a handpiece generating aerosol spray, will be required to be tested for COVID -19 before the surgery takes place.
The use of regular protective masks in today’s environment when aerosols of bodily fluids are possible will not be adequate to protect you, our staff, or anyone else in that surgical room. Together with the new normal inside of our surgical rooms, we will apply COVID-19 TESTS to patients in 3 stages, minimizing the possible risk of the virus spreading inside our facility.
