More services are allowed again at Dallas County Hospital and Family Medicine Clinics in Perry, though there are still enhanced safety measures in place related to curbing the spread of COVID-19.
The regular clinic hours have resumed, and the hospital is slowly phasing in specialty clinics and surgeries on a rotating monthly schedule. However, the added precautions include: pre-appointment phone screening for all patients; everyone entering the building must wear a mask before being screened for symptoms; no visitors will be allowed in the hospital, except for guardians of patients under age 18; all DCH employees will be screened daily; and patients may be tested for coronavirus 24 hours prior to any outpatient procedure.
Hospital administrators are looking forward to once again offering more services locally, and they feel the additional safety measures are necessary in ensuring their staff and patients stay safe as the pandemic persists.
