Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

Ascension is working to keep our communities healthy during this time and prevent the spread of infection while continuing to care for those who need us most.

If you have a fever, cough or shortness of breath and need care, please call your personal physician, as a first step. We recommend if you have symptoms, you should stay home and avoid exposing others until you can talk with a doctor.
Ascension is also offering online urgent care visits at a discounted rate of $20 through Ascension Online Care with the code HOME. You can video chat with a physician without leaving your home.
New temporary visitor rules have been implemented to try to decrease the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) and to keep our patients, families, care teams and the communities we serve safe. At this time, facilities near you may be restricting visitors. Please contact the Ascension location before visiting.
If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency or difficulty breathing, go directly to the ER or dial 911.
