From scheduling vaccine appointments to finding testing sites, 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 all vulnerable groups within Phase 1a as defined by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. This includes older folks 65+ and people age 16-64 with high-risk conditions.
As manufacturing and distribution ramps up, and vaccine 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.
Patients can now have one healthy support person visit them. AHN understands how important having a loved one around can be for a patient’s recovery, and we’re happy to welcome back that support. Review our policy for details and exceptions.
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.
