Sleep is central to our health, but not always simple. Your body and mind need high-quality sleep to function well and, unfortunately, several issues can prevent or disturb good sleep.
What about surgeries — both elective and emergency?
We’ve continued conducting medically necessary and emergency procedures — and added a COVID-19 test to our pre-operative lab routine. We take every precaution to ensure our operating rooms minimize the risk of infection and disease transmission — our operating room staff also has been tested for COVID-19.
If you’ve had to postpone an elective surgery, please call your physician's office to reschedule.
What about imaging and laboratory tests?
Our Referral Center can help you with that, too. We’re only seeing scheduled patients (no walk-ins) for lab tests and imaging, but will do our best to get you a same-day appointment.
