COVID-19: What You Need To Know

St. Joseph’s/Candler continues to take steps to keep you and your loved ones safe if you are a patient at any of our hospitals or outpatient facilities. All our co-workers are required to wear medically-approved masks. When you do come to our hospitals, you will be screened for fever and other symptoms. You also will be given a mask to wear if you do not already have one. Additionally, we are limiting elevator capacity to four people and practicing other social distancing methods, such as spacing out sitting arrangements. The Visitation Policy continues to be no visitors. The exceptions are Labor and Delivery, patients who are minors, outpatient surgery and emergency department patients, which are allowed only one visitor who must be screened and wear a mask. We ensure you we are taking all precautions to keep you safe when you come to our facilities.
