MRMC Has Taken COVID Precautions but are Caring for Patients

Moberly Regional Medical Center is urging the local community to seek emergency care when needed. MRMC officials indicate that as the hospital responds to COVID-19 it is taking extra precautions to keep the hospital clean and safe for patients and caregivers. Brent Parsons is the CEO at MRMC.

Dr. Phil Stitzer echoes those thoughts.

The hospital screens everyone who comes to the facility including patients and staff and have limited access doors and restricted visitors to reduce the number of people in the building. Everyone needs to use the ER entrance when coming to the hospital. In addition, everyone with patient contact inside the hospital wears personal protective equipment, including facemasks. Stitzer says do not ignore seeking medical care if you need it.

MRMC has also rearranged the waiting rooms and other environments to enable social distancing to take place.
