We’re working to keep as many people safe and healthy as possible through an array of complementary public health interventions. By getting ahead of the problem, we can flatten the curve together.
The Yagua Health Group has been working closely with local government officials and corresponding healthcare departments to find solutions to curb the spread of the virus in the island, and more importantly how to protect our visitors from abroad.
Dedicated to keeping our communities informed on emergent situations that may impact patient care.
Temporary Hours Adjustments
The NMC location has temporarily adjusted operating hours to be open Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 9:00, Saturday from 8:00 to 4:00 and Sunday by Appointment.
We recognize this is an unprecedented time, bringing uncertainty and unease – especially regarding visiting a medical facility. We want you to know that we have increased our already stringent procedures, so you can feel safe, secure and confident in once again at UCA.
To limit the overall traffic in the practice, we are limiting patients to one (1) essential visitor/companion, and asking patients to not bring any visitors, unless absolutely necessary.
We thoroughly clean and sanitize all patient waiting rooms, exam rooms, and other care areas according to the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). We have taken extra steps by removing shared items like refreshments, magazines and toys.
We are screening all patients and visitors for symptoms of cough, shortness of breath, or fever prior to entering the waiting area. If the screen is positive, we will provide a mask for them to wear.
We are practicing social distancing by providing extra space between seats in patient waiting areas and creating separate entrances.
All UCA staff are asked to wear a mask, and we will mask patients or their essential companion if they show any symptoms of respiratory infection, have been in contact with a confirmed COVID-19-positive individual, have traveled to a geographic endemic hot spot, or if our patient/visitor must enter our practice through a hospital facility that is following universal masking guidance.
Offering Virtual Waiting Room to space out arrival times and allowing patients to call and check in from their cars to promote additional social distancing.
To see a UCA provider in-person, use our Virtual Waiting Room or head to one of our locations. If you prefer to have a virtual visit with a UCA provider from the comfort of your own home, you can also request this.
