Latest Information on COVID-19 Precautions: The safety of our patients and staff has always been and remains our top priority. As the world continues to navigate the challenges presented by COVID-19, we realize that some people may have questions about coming to the hospital even as they seek to address pressing health issues. Please note that we have implemented extraordinary measures and additional protocols to help ensure a safe and clean environment for our patients, physicians, staff and community. We are actively monitoring and responding to all recommendations made by the CDC and our local Health Authority.

If you develop a fever, cough or have difficulty breathing, or have had close contact with someone who has had a confirmed positive COVID-19 test result, please seek medical attention by calling your provider’s office or an Urgent Care Center. Visit bit.ly/STHSCOVID19Update for information about our COVID-19 precautions, guidelines for elective procedures, seeking medical attention for emergency medical conditions, Telehealth and visitation.

Our South Texas Health System Emergency Departments are open 24/7 for medical emergencies. If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency or concerning symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, trouble lifting your arms, numbness or weakness, dial 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

Unfortunately, we have begun to see patients that have waited too long to seek care for life-threatening conditions, due to an understandable fear of being exposed to COVID-19. However, prolonged delay in seeking evaluation for concerning symptoms may have detrimental effects on your health. We encourage you to seek immediate medical care in these situations.

HEALTH ALERT: In response to the recent outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19), we have suspended visitation for the health and safety of everyone in our care. Visitors are not permitted in the hospital (with limited critical exceptions). We are monitoring for symptoms in patients and implementing isolation protocols, if needed. We are taking proactive steps to keep our patients and team members safe while serving the needs of our community. We are actively monitoring and responding to all recommendations made by the CDC and our local Health Authority. View our full Health Alert at bit.ly/MHHCOVID19Update.
If you develop a fever or cough or have difficulty breathing, or have had close contact with someone who has had a presumptive positive or confirmed COVID-19 test result, please seek medical attention. Learn more about the coronavirus at bit.ly/COVID-19CDC.
