Children’s to Modify Some Outpatient Specialty Clinic Visits

In our continued effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and keep patient families safe, Children’s will be modifying visit schedules with our pediatric specialists through July 1, 2020. Our specialists will see urgent visits (those needed in the next 7 days) as scheduled, but will also consider making the following modifications:
· Virtual Visits wherever appropriate
· Rescheduling non-urgent visits to the summer months

Each specialty has a specific plan based upon the patient needs and staff support required, and will work to modify the schedule two weeks at a time. Staff will contact patient families directly as needed to communicate and coordinate care.

Children’s Infusion Center and Dialysis clinic will continue regular operations. Sleep Lab and Neurodiagnostics will postpone non-urgent procedures. Our Spring Ridge outpatient specialty clinic will be closed until further notice. Our outpatient specialty services in Sioux City will be suspended, as well, with the exception of Cardiology services. Modifications at our Specialty Pediatric Clinic in Lincoln will occur and be communicated on a specialty-by-specialty basis.

Again, these modifications are being made to keep our patients, families and staff safe and healthy. We thank our patient families for their patience and cooperation at this unprecedented time.
