Helpful information about the novel Coronavirus
At Providence St. Joseph Health we care deeply about your health and safety. 

If you think you have been exposed to the Coronavirus and are feeling sick with a fever and respiratory symptoms, please follow the steps below for care:

  • Please call ahead before coming in person to one of our physician clinics, urgent care centers or emergency departments. You can find phone numbers for our providers and locations at www.stjosephhealth.org.
  • If you have a life-threatening emergency, please call 911.


  • Use our new online coronavirus assessment tool. We developed this “chat” tool to help you assess your risk and to connect you with a provider virtually if you are at a higher risk for the virus.
Manage anxiety and stress
Things you can do to support yourself

  • Take breaks from watching, reading, or listening to news stories, including social media. Hearing about the pandemic repeatedly can be upsetting.

  • Take care of your body. Take deep breaths, stretch, or meditate. Try to eat healthy, well-balanced meals, exercise regularly, get plenty of sleep, and avoid alcohol and drugs.

  • Make time to unwind. Try to do some other activities you enjoy.

  • Connect with others. Talk with people you trust about your concerns and how you are feeling.

By following a few simple guidelines, employers can help their teams remain informed without running afoul of privacy rules.
