One thing that has not changed

... Mary Lynne Wright

President Madison Hospital C COVID-19 has changed our community in many ways, but one thing that hasn’t changed is Madison Hospital’s commitment to caring for you and your family.

In the midst of a pandemic, it’s easy to forget that people still need medical care for other reasons – and our excellent clinical team is providing it, every day.

From May 1 to the middle of June, 4,254 patients came to our Emergency Department for emergent care. During that same period our maternity team delivered nearly 150 babies, and more than 450 patients had surgery at Madison Hospital – knee replacements, sports medicine procedures, appendix removal surgery and much more.

We’re grateful that so many families support our mission and trust us to keep them healthy.

Of course, we follow the latest public health guidance for keeping you and your loved ones safe while on our campus.

We’ve set up fever-screening stations at every entrance. All hospital employees, patients and family members are expected to wear a mask and follow social distancing recommendations. And our Environmental Services team is laser-focused on keeping our facilities clean and disinfected.

We’ve all had to adapt to the ‘new normal’ of COVID-19, but I’m proud to say that we have continued to provide a high level of care to every patient who enters our doors.

Also, I would like to offer a note of thanks to our community for your support of the staff at Madison Hospital during this time. Your donations of meals, snacks, supplies and words of encouragement are greatly appreciated!

Madison Hospital created a video in June to thank the local community for their tremendous support through the COVID-19 crisis. It can be found on their Facebook page at www. Facebook.com/MadisonHospitalFan. The post reads: “From the first days of the COVID-19 crisis, the Madison community rallied behind our frontline employees. Local businesses and residents have showered our hardworking staff with more meals, homemade masks, 3D-printed face shields and other donated items than we can count. We created this video to say thank you to our amazingly kind and generous community.”
