| All services still available at Syringa All service lines at Syringa Hospital & Clinics (SHC) are available for patients to access. Safeguards are in place to treat your illness or wellness with equal safety. This was made possible with the opening of the 711 Clinic (adjacent to Syringa Therapy Services) for sick patients, allowing well patients to access SHC’s Primary Care Clinic. “Our main concern is fear making patients ignore symptoms that could be serious,” said Dr. Told, Chief of Medical Staff. “We can treat you safely in the ER and our clinics.” There is no need to delay wellness exams, immunizations for children, or treatment for ongoing conditions. Patients can also use our telemedicine option (either phone or video) if they feel it’s better for them to not to come in. Syringa Hospital fundraisers cancelled Syringa Hospital & Clinics (SHC) has cancelled upcoming Spring events due to the impact of COVID-19. Just for the Hill of It bike challenge (Hospice program benefit) and the Blue Jean Ball (Syringa Foundation Benefit) scheduled for June 6th and June 26th respectively, have been cancelled for 2020. Even though it is suspected that public gatherings will be deemed ‘safe’ by June, those planning these events ask for local donations four months prior to the event date. “We cannot in good conscience ask our local businesses to financially support these events,” said Kristi Brooks, Syringa Foundation Director. “Regardless of how important the cause is, we realize the spotlight needs to be on the small businesses that make up our community.” Many local businesses have recently shown wonderful support for the hospital and its staff in other ways, including delivering food, handmade masks, and handwritten notes of appreciation and support. The reaction from staff has been immense gratitude! “The community has been so good and supportive to hospice,” said Cindy Higgins, Hospice Manager. “Mirroring support is the least we can do.” Those who have shown their support are greatly appreciated and will be recognized by SHC next month. |
