Health Screenings and Imaging Changes Due to COVID-19
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some health screening and non-urgent imaging tests are on hold, including screening colonoscopies (and other colon cancer screening), prostate cancer screening and lung cancer screening. We have resumed screening mammograms. If you are scheduled for a screening or an imaging test that isn’t urgent, our staff will contact you before your appointment to discuss rescheduling for a later date or engaging in a telehealth virtual visit. You can use virtual visits with your provider to discuss screenings, imaging and preventive care, with tests performed at a later date. We will still do medically necessary tests that your provider orders or that you request due to a concern. If you have questions, please contact your provider by phone or by using MyChart.
