“We continue to provide patient care and our clinics and hospitals remain open,” according to a news release from CHI St. Joseph’s Health. “We have, however, made some temporary adjustments, including rescheduling or delaying certain appointments or procedures on a case-by-case basis.”
Patients with questions or concerns about upcoming appointments or medical needs should call their provider’s office. There may be longer wait times due to an increased level of calls, as well as increased wait times at clinics and hospitals.
“We are working to resolve the issues as soon as possible,” Communications and Marketing Manager Sonja Day said. “We are grateful to our staff and physicians, who are doing everything possible to minimize the impact to our patients.”
