Limited number of visitors allowed at Life Springs Parkland Hospital
During the current outbreak, the hospital will ensure the risk of infection of all patients, employees, doctors, and visitors to the hospital is reduced through general Covid-19 screening before entering our facilities.
Life Springs Parkland says during the current Covid-19 outbreak, the well-being of their patients, employees, doctors and visitors within the communities they serve is their top priority.
The hospital will remain open and operational during the lockdown and patients needing urgent health care will receive the quality care that they need.
Where surgeries are scheduled to take place, doctors will make responsible decisions, with fully informed consent on the part of the patient, as to the necessity for admission to hospital and the timing of surgery in light of the prevalence of Covid-19.
Patients are advised to contact their admitting doctors to confirm the necessity for admission to the hospital and the timing of surgery as a precautionary measure.
