Due to ongoing concerns about coronavirus (COVID-19), we are consolidating operating rooms in addition to the previous changes to elective procedures.
State-mandated criteria for the procedures will be:
- Threat to patient’s life if surgery is not performed
- Threat of permanent dysfunction of an extremity or organ system
- Risk of metastasis or progression of staging
- Risk of rapidly worsening to severe symptoms (time sensitivity)
