New Screening and Safety Measures

Starting next week, we will begin screening our non-patient-facing employees for COVID-19. Side doors to each building will be disabled, and each employee will be asked to enter from their office’s respective front lobby, where they will be stopped at a designated screening station to answer a brief set of questions. We are also working to ensure that AltaMed provides masks to all employees, and will provide additional communications regarding screening and prevention at non-patient-facing sites next week.

Need Help Keeping Track?

As COVID-19 information changes rapidly and frequently, we’ve put together a checklist to ensure that you are getting the answers and information you need at all times. Click here to access this checklist.

When and if you receive text alerts through Everbridge, please confirm receipt, as these are official communications from AltaMed and serve to provide critical updates.

A Word of Congratulations

Earlier this week, an AltaMed patient called KIIS-FM to spread word of the excellent work being done at AltaMed in handling COVID-19 screenings. Well-deserved praise, team!
