Safety Measures for Orthopedic Procedures

Our hospitals are instituting the following safety measures in our Operating Rooms:

• Adhering to the guidance and established criteria of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the US Surgeon General, the American Hospital Association, and the leading national associations of nurses, surgeons, and anesthesiologists.
  
  
• Screenings for everyone entering our care sites. Everyone entering our hospitals will undergo a screening process. Screenings are very brief and involve just a few quick questions and a temperature check.
  
  
• Masks are required for everyone, including staff members, patients, and visitors. Cloth masks are acceptable for patients and paper masks will be provided for patients who don’t have one.
  
  
• Visitors - one adult visitor is allowed prior to the procedure; visitors must leave if/when patient is admitted.
  
  
• Separate care areas for patients with COVID-19 symptoms.
  
  
• Social distancing guidelines for patients and visitors.
  
  
• Enhanced cleanings and disinfection throughout our facilities at the end of every day.

Our care environment is different than it was before the COVID-19 pandemic, but we are just as dedicated to providing high-quality care that is responsive to the needs of our community and reflective of the dedication of our caregivers. Thank you for your support in creating a safe care environment.

Joint Replacement Unit: Accreditation

In 2010, our Siena Campus was the first hospital in Nevada to earn the Gold Seal of Approval™ from The Joint Commission for our Joint Replacement Program. The Joint Replacement - Hip and Joint Replacement - Knee programs received Joint Commission re-certification in August 2018, which means that our program meets or exceeds the highest standards in the field. The certification is a testament to our dedication to our patients and to our commitment to advancing orthopedic medicine.
