Los Alamitos Medical Center stands united in serving the community and in facing new challenges due to COVID-19. There is not a physician, staff member or volunteer who is not impacted by this pandemic, and we have made swift changes to ensure we’re meeting all public health safety measures.
I am proud to be the CEO of such a caring and dedicated team.
The patient care environment has changed with increased safety precautions, which is why we have temporarily suspended all patient visits to the hospital.
We realize that family and friends are imperative to the recovery process and we encourage continuous connection with patients via virtual visits on FaceTime, Skype and other applications. Know that our staff is providing care and comfort to our patients as they would for their own families.
The health of our physicians and staff on the front lines is also crucial to our success in fighting the surge of patients we anticipate. We have dedicated staff screening patients who are entering our facility as well as all physicians and employees.
As we navigate the effects of COVID-19, we expect more changes and challenges ahead. The support and generosity of the communities we serve has been heartwarming and uplifting to our staff. We appreciate the donations of equipment and food and offers of support.
We encourage our communities to stay safe at home and heed the direction of public health officials. We are here for our patients and are ready to serve those who need our help in the coming weeks and months.
