“It’s clear that people are putting off needed visits to hospital emergency departments out of fear of the coronavirus,” officials from the Santa Clarita hospital said. “Frankly, this worries us.”

In a recent news briefing, Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital officials assured the public that, to help ensure the safety of patients and staff members, they have enacted “new screening processes,” and are practicing “social distancing and universal masking” in their hospital and all of their clinic locations.

Officials from the Santa Clarita hospital explained that patients suffering from COVID-19 symptoms are treated in separate areas of the hospital from those whose symptoms do not match the coronavirus symptom profile.

“We have strict processes in place to isolate and treat suspected COVID-19 patients and to protect all others who come to our Emergency Department or anywhere else in our hospital,” officials said.

While hospital officials say they understand “why people are trying to stay home and are avoiding areas where they fear the coronavirus could be spread,” they are also quick to assure local residents that “Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital is not such a place.”

Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital staff urge patients who experience urgent healthcare needs to visit the hospital’s Emergency Department.

“If you experience symptoms that would have caused you to come to our Emergency Department in the past, please come in to be evaluated,” officials with the Santa Clarita hospital said. “We are open 24/7 and ready to take care of you.”
