The Desimone Levee on the Green River failed and is under repair. The hospital is above the flood zone and currently in no danger of flooding. We evacuated our Time Square and Kent Station Clinics and our Lind Avenue locations. Several locations are experiencing staffing issues due to severe traffic impacts. Impacted patients are being contacted to reschedule appointments. Please be safe, do not drive or walk through standing water, and call 9-1-1 if you need emergency evacuation assistance.

UPDATED: COVID Clearance for Surgical Screening & Pre-Surgical Screening of COVID+ Patients
These pathways, created for both inpatients and outpatients undergoing a procedure in Valley's OR, Endoscopy suites, SPCU or Cardiovascular Interventional areas, were updated to help close any gaps that could occur related to COVID clearance and COVID+ test results. The primary goal is to continue to create the safest possible environment for staff and patients.
The pathway updates address:
- Pre-procedure assessment
- Patients who have tested COVID+
- COVID+ patients who are between 10 and 20 days post-test AND scheduled for a procedure
- Updated dot phrases: .COVIDPOSITIVESURGICALCLEARANCE and .COVIDPREOPSURGICALCLEARANCE
