Dear valued patients and visitors,

We at St. Elizabeth Healthcare want to ensure our patients, visitors and staff remain healthy as the COVID 19 virus spreads in the United States.  While most cases result in a mild illness, certain populations are at higher risk for complications including elderly patients and those with chronic health conditions such as lung disease, heart disease and diabetes.  Much like the flu all patients should take precautions to reduce the spread of COVID 19.

• Wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your face

• Keep space between yourself and others and stay away from those who may be sick

• Avoid unnecessary time in public places, travel (especially air travel  or cruises)

• Stay at home as much as possible if there are cases reported in your area

If you develop symptoms we recommend staying at home and contacting your primary care physician to determine next steps unless you need emergency care. This reduces the spread of disease to other patients and the staff in our offices.

If cases of COVID 19 are reported in the Northern Kentucky Area and you have a chronic illness we recommend you consider rescheduling any routine appointments.  Check with your primary care physician or specialist to see if Video Visits are an option until cases of the virus subside.  We will extend prescriptions for 30 days to ensure you do not run out of medication.
