NOTICE: An Important Health and Safety Message to Casa Grande and surrounding communities

From: Brian Keller, CEO, and Shweta Jain, CMO

We need your help as we serve the people and communities around us.

The current surge in COVID and other serious infectious and seasonal diseases continue to push the health care resources in our region beyond capacity and to a breaking point. Demand for services is outpacing capacity, putting an unprecedented strain on all medical facilities, including clinics, nursing homes, home health agencies, urgent care centers and hospitals. This causes a backup in hospitals with non-hospital patients and prevents access for critically ill patients and much longer wait times for emergency care.

We are asking the community to help us in several ways.

• Most important, please get the COVID vaccine or booster if you have not already done so. This is the best defense against hospitalization and death.
• With the rapid spread and high transmissibility of the Omicron variant, we encourage wearing a mask at indoor public settings and around crowds.

To help alleviate hospital overcrowding, please use PRIMARY or URGENT CARE options for non-emergent symptoms or conditions such as:
• Allergies
• Animal bites
• Fever, cold and flu symptoms
• Diarrhea
• Ear infections
• Minor burns
• Nose bleeds
• Rashes or skin conditions
• Sore throat
• Simple fractures and sprains
• Simple Urinary tract infections (UTI)
• Vomiting

Reserve EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT care for severe, life-threatening symptoms such as:

• Chest pain
• Abdominal pain
• Vomiting or coughing up blood
• Loss of consciousness
• New severe headache
• Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath
• Traumatic Injury

Please do not come to the emergency room for a COVID test. If you do require medical services, no matter what setting, we thank you for your patience and grace. Our Health Care Heroes have been providing quality care throughout this pandemic and, like all of us, are exhausted. We owe a huge debt of gratitude for their perseverance and passion to care for those in need during these unprecedented times.

Thank you for your support as we work together to end the pandemic.
