San Juan Regional Medical Center will open an external assessment area for any patients with cold like symptoms from 3 to 7 p.m. Monday, March 16; Wednesday, March 18; and Friday, March 20.
This is a drive-thru assessment area located in one of San Juan Regional Medical Center’s parking lots on West Pinon Street across the street from the hospital.
Instead of visiting the Emergency Department or an offsite health care clinic, patients experiencing minor symptoms, including fever, cough, body aches, sore throat, runny nose and other cold-like symptoms, may visit this assessment area to be evaluated and treated if necessary, this includes consideration for COVID-19 testing.
Signs will be posted in the parking lot to guide patients and provide them with a registration phone number to call. Patients will need to have their ID and insurance information with them. The goal is to meet community needs and assess patients away from others to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
