From scheduling vaccine appointments to finding testing sites, from understanding visitor restrictions to answering commonly asked questions, AHN is here to provide guidance and support on all things Coronavirus.
First and foremost, we’re taking care of those who need to take care of everyone else. AHN care teams and independent health care workers should make an appointment as soon as they can.
Right now, supply allows us to start vaccinating vulnerable groups — older folks 75+ first, before moving to other age groups and those who are high-risk. As more vaccines come in, we’ll open up more appointments.
As manufacturing and distribution ramps up, and supply comes in, AHN is fully prepared to vaccinate as many people as we can, as fast as we can. Sign up for MyChart to get alerts when we’re ready for you.
As we continue to fight Coronavirus, AHN has made the difficult decision to significantly restrict visitors in our hospitals and outpatient facilities. This is necessary to protect the health and safety of our patients, care teams, and community.
If you have symptoms like a fever or cough, the safest place to be — for you and everyone else — is in your home. To get care, you have a few different options.
Please note: If you’re having a true medical emergency, Coronavirus-related or not, dial 911 or visit your closest emergency department. AHN has taken extra precautions within our facilities to keep all patients as safe as possible. Don’t delay receiving medical attention — we’re here to help.
