Need a Telehealth Visit?: https://www.mymhp.org/services/virtual-visits/

GENERAL UPDATES FOR THE PUBLIC:
- MHP employees: We have had a total of 5 MHP employees that have tested positive since the virus was first identified. Out of 1200+ employees, that is really an amazing job by our staff to lead by example, wearing PPE, and practicing prudent hand hygiene and social distancing.
- Surgery: We have elective surgery cases scheduled for next week. We have taken several precautions to ensure a safe environment for the patients and our staff. This includes testing the patient for COVID prior to surgery, separate entrance and exits, and multiple other precautionary steps. Moreover, all positive COVID inpatients have been isolated on the 3^rd floor inpatient unit as far away from the 1^st floor surgery department as possible.
- Physician Practices: MHP Physician offices will begin reopening starting Monday. Please contact your physician office to schedule an appointment. If you have non-emergent respiratory signs or symptoms, including a fever, please visit Priority Care at 30 W. Rampart or call (317) 398-7644.
- Washington St Clinic Closing: Reminder, this location is temporarily closing until further notice after Friday, May 1^st.

SUPPLY UPDATES:
- We need your empty hand sanitizer bottles. We are making our own hand sanitizer and need your empty containers in order to reuse.
- Do you have items that you would like to donate? (hand sanitizer, masks, respirators, gloves, N95, bouffant caps, or gowns). If so, please contact Angela Gill (agill@majorhospital.org)
- Food Donations: Several community supporters have called to offer to donate food for our staff and physicians. Some are also doing it as a way to support those restaurants who are struggling to stay afloat while they are only open for carryout. We are extremely grateful for all the community support and selfless gestures. If you would like to find out more information, please contact Angela Gill (agill@majorhospital.org).
