- For the Medical Office Building and Littleton Urgent Care Entrances – we will no longer be staffing these entry points with a screener. Please stop at the screening checkpoint, review the sign before you, and follow the displayed instructions. If you answer YES to either of the presented questions, DO NOT continue into the building. Instead, use the provided phone to contact our triage clinician for further instructions. If you answer NO to both questions, you can continue into the building.
