Since babies don’t take days off, neither do we. We’re here when you need us, every day of the week.
Newborn Center hours:
Monday – Friday 8:30-5:00pm
Telemedicine visits are also available.
To protect you and your family at this time we have the following procedures in place:
- Prescreening on phone and at check in for all patients
- Staffed are screened each day
- Completely physically separate entrances, receptions areas, hallways, exam rooms and exits for sick and well patients.
- Deep cleaning after each visit and professional sanitizing each night
- Contactless curbside checkin- when you arrive call from your car – no waiting rooms
- Everyone over age 2 wears a mask. We’ll provide one to children, adults please wear your own mask or cloth face covering to help us preserve masks.
- Limited contact and social distancing – only two adult caregivers are allowed back with each baby, no siblings.
Due to the current public health emergency, we are not able to see walk in patients. You MUST have an appointment. Please call ahead to schedule.
