The COVID-19 pandemic has made it crystal clear just how much communities rely on their local hospitals and also how much we rely on you.
Longview Regional Medical Center is used to responding in times of crisis.
We are taking extraordinary measures – going above and beyond all of our normal efforts to keep our hospital and clinics clean and safe – because if you need healthcare, we want you to feel confident and to know you are protected.
We are screening everyone who comes into the hospital, providing facemasks and other personal protective equipment to staff and patients, rearranging our environments to enable social distancing, and, in the event we ever do have any patients with COVID-19 at the hospital, we are caring for them in an area that is separate and isolated from the rest of the hospital.
Doug Luckett is the interim chief executive officer at Longview Regional Medical Center
