Coronavirus (COVID-19) Preparedness

Hammond-Henry Hospital is committed to providing high-quality care to our patients. In the past couple of months, coronavirus, COVID-19, has become a household word. While our community is not in immediate danger from this virus, our hospital has taken steps to ensure we are prepared to handle the potential spread of COVID-19 into our area. Processes, already in place, have been reviewed and follow the latest recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Staff have been refreshed on these processes, and should we have a patient with COVID-19 present to our hospital or clinics, we are properly equipped to identify and isolate these individuals.

At this time, the best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to the virus. However, as a reminder, CDC always recommends everyday preventative actions to help the spread of respiratory disease.

Hammond-Henry Hospital is closely monitoring the situation and will continue to adapt in order to keep our community safe and healthy. For additional information please visit the CDC’s website. 

All men and women should be screened for colorectal cancer.

Your individual risk factors – such as ethnicity, lifestyle and family history – will determine when you should start getting checked.

The American Cancer Society recently recommended that adults without a family history should begin colorectal cancer screening at age 45.

Discuss your risk factors and options with your family medicine provider.
