UnityPoint clarifies non-essential services

UnityPoint Health — Trinity Regional Medical Center has issued clarifying language surrounding its initial announcement postponing all non-essential services during the pandemic to reduce the spread of COVID-19 infections.

“Trinity’s service lines remain open for services deemed urgent, emergent or medically necessary,” said Alyssa Stanek, communications specialist. “We are only postponing non-essential appointments.”

A simple rule of thumb: patients will be contacted if their appointment needs to be postponed.

The following departments are open for essential services only during this time:

• Diabetes center.

• Sleep center.

• Outpatient therapy services (including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and lymphedema therapy).

• Infusion center.

• Wound center.

• Cardiac pulmonary rehabilitation.

• Respiratory care.

The above list is exhaustive of all departments affected by the temporary shift in service.
