As always, BHSH is committed to protecting our patients and staff. In addition to the screening procedures outlined below, and in accordance with CDC guidelines for healthcare facilities, we are requiring that our staff wear masks at all times. We are also requiring that all patients and visitors wear masks when in public spaces or when a healthcare provider is assisting you. If you are able to bring your own mask, it would be greatly appreciated. Masks should be functional, clean, and free of holes and tears. If you do not have a mask, we are happy to provide one for you. We also ask that everyone practice social distancing to the extent that is practical.
