Since the outbreak of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) our team of doctors, nurses and other clinicians have been actively monitoring the situation to prepare INTEGRIS to meet the needs of the community during its most difficult times.
Dear INTEGRIS Health Patients and Community Members,
One of the negative effects COVID-19 had on our state was patients and community members withholding or delaying care. While it is understandable to be concerned about contracting a new virus, withholding or delaying care, in many instances, can have far greater negative health consequences than contracting COVID-19.
To ensure you can safely seek care at INTEGRIS hospitals, clinics and emergency rooms, we have taken extra precautions so you can get the care you need. Some of those precautions include:
For those who wish to seek care virtually, INTEGRIS Health has you covered. Click here to schedule a virtual visit with one of our many trained physicians.
Do not let fear of contracting COVID-19 keep you away from important non-COVID-19 care. Sadly, some have done just that, resulting in life ending or life altering consequences. The data show people are nearly five times more likely to die from heart disease and nearly two times more likely to die from stroke than from COVID-19.
Delaying or avoiding routine care like breast health, colon screenings or well-baby exams can also have negative consequences. Please schedule and maintain your check-ups and regular screenings.
INTEGRIS Health has been and will continue to be your most trusted partner for health. Please come in and trust us to keep you safe from COVID-19 as you receive the vital non-COVID-19 care you need.
Warmly,
Timothy Pehrson
President and CEO
Dear Patients and Community Members,
At INTEGRIS Health, the safety and health of our patients, visitors and caregivers is our top priority. Since the outbreak of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) our team of doctors, nurses and other clinicians have been actively monitoring the situation to prepare INTEGRIS to meet the needs of the community during its most difficult times.
We are partnering with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Oklahoma State Health Department, and other health systems to proactively prepare for and respond to this growing health concern.
Recently, we added screening precautions to help with early identification, isolation, and treatment of potential COVID-19 patients, which also improves protection for our caregivers and other patients.
If you think you have been exposed to COVID-19 and develop a fever and symptoms, such as cough or difficulty breathing, call your INTEGRIS provider for medical advice. Upon scheduling an appointment, inform the clinic staff that you have or may have COVID-19. This will help us take steps to keep other people from getting infected or exposed.
Another safe way to get health advice from a qualified INTEGRIS provider from the convenience of your home is to schedule an INTEGRIS Virtual Visit by clicking here.
If you do become sick, you likely will not need hospital care. The CDC has guidelines for healing at home while minimizing the spread of this contagious virus. Click here for those guidelines
There is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19, so the best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. Click here to see the CDC’s steps to prevent illness.
Working together we can contain the COVID-19 spread. INTEGRIS Health is here to help you and your family live healthier lives.
Sincerely,
Timothy Pehrson
President and CEO
Communicate by telephone or live video to get care even when you can’t visit the office or clinic in person. Ask your provider if Telehealth is an option for you.
