Information You Need to Know – Coronavirus (COVID-19) Updates

What is Sibley Heart Center Cardiology Doing to Ensure Patient Safety in Outpatient Clinics?

Scheduling

  • At the time of scheduling, we are asking that patients come to a clinic with ONLY ONE caregiver. Additional family members may be asked to wait in their cars.

Clinic Procedures

  • Upon arrival at our clinics the caregiver will be asked a screening questionnaire (for caregiver and patient).
  • Our staff will check the temperature of the caregiver and patient upon arrival at a clinic. Patients who have a fever will likely have to reschedule.
  • We ask that parents and their child (if older than 5 years old) wear a mask to a clinic if they own one. If a child is younger than 5 years of age and can tolerate wearing a mask safely, we are asking them to wear a mask, as well.
  • If parents/children cannot bring their own mask, if we have enough supply, Sibley is providing disposable masks.
  • To ensure social distancing in the waiting room, we may ask families to wait in their car until they are called inside by a Sibley staff member for their appointment.
  • Exam tables are wiped down after each encounter.

Sibley Staff

  • All Sibley staff are wearing masks and have the option to wear goggles.
  • Each day we are screening our staff for symptoms and checking their temperatures prior to beginning work.
  • If a patient or caregiver is deemed to be at risk for a COVID19 infection, the physician will be notified and may reschedule the appointment at his/her discretion.
