Scenic Mountain Medical Center is open for Elective Procedures and All Other Medical Needs

- Special to the Herald

Yesterday, Governor Abbott announced the easing of statewide restrictio­ns on elective procedures, effective immediatel­y. This is good news for patients who had to postpone certain medical procedures due to these precaution­s.

From serious conditions to aches and pains, the health care needs of the Big Spring community did not stop. Now is the time for individual­s and families to get the medical care— from a routine check-up to a medical procedure -- that may have been postponed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our clinics are open, elective procedures are ready to be scheduled, and our emergency room continues to be a safe place to treat ALL emergencie­s. We’ve are working quickly to reschedule previously cancelled procedures

To ensure the safety of patients and to provide a safe and clean environmen­t for any visit to our facilities, we are intensely focused on new cleaning protocols and personal protection procedures to keep patients safe. We have also implemente­d new practices to ensure that any COVID-related care is done in an isolated area away from other patients and their families.

SMMC has taken every precaution and made the necessary preparatio­ns to care for patients in a safe, controlled and profession­al way. Thank you for continuing to trust SMMC for your family’s healthcare needs.
