Our COVID-19 Safety Guidelines
At Rural Wellness Fairfax, our first priority is the health and safety of our patients, our providers and our community. Guided by recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), we have many new policies in place to ensure your health and safety when you come to Fairfax Community Hospital, or one of our clinics.
Air Purifiers
Rural Wellness Fairfax uses medical grade IQ air purifiers throughout the hospital in order to filter viruses out of the air to protect staff, patients and visitors.
Masking
All providers will wear a mask while caring for you. For the safety of all, patients are also required to wear a mask or cloth face covering when they come in.
Vaccination
All of our staff members have been vaccinated against Covid-19. We are making every effort to protect our employees, families, and the community.
Visitors
Our visitor policies are updated based on the latest information and guidelines, with the recovery and safety of our patients and their visitors in mind.
Disinfecting
We thoroughly disinfect patient rooms, common areas, and workspaces with care. As always, exam rooms are fully cleaned between each patient.
Hand Hygeine
In addition to frequent hand washing, sanitizer is available throughout the hospital and strongly recommended whenever entering or exiting the office space.
Health Screening
We screen all of our employees and patients for high temperatures, respiratory issues, and other symptoms before they enter the building.
Isolation
Anyone with symptoms or risk factors for COVID-19 are redirected to the appropriate resource. Patients with suspected Covid-19 are isolated in a separate area.
Better Health Care is Our Mission
Every day brings a chance to do things a little better than the day before.
At Rural Wellness Fairfax, we are working hard to meet the needs of our community. You'll see it in improvements, both large and small. You'll feel it with the addition of new staff and enhanced services. And you'll know it from quality and safety of patient care.
Today and everyday, we are here for you.
