Non-Essential Events Postponed
3/12/2020
The safety of patients, visitors and our healthcare team members is critical to our delivery of quality medical care. At Northwest Health, our hospitals and clinics are prepared to respond, screening all patients for COVID-19 risk factors, and we have a plan to protect patients, staff and visitors while providing necessary medical care. As part of our preparedness, and work to minimize unnecessary exposure to infectious or communicable diseases, we are temporarily suspending all non-essential activities, including the community events that were planned for the opening of our new Northwest Health Emergency Department Fayetteville, including:
- Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony on Friday, March 13
- Community Open House on Saturday, March 14
- Educators' Open House on Monday, March 16
This is an extraordinary time in our community and we are taking this step out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our team members and community.
The new Emergency Department will open - as planned - at 6 a.m. on Tuesday, March 17.
