A Safe Place For Care

Care begins with a safe place. As we go about our daily lives today, we all want to feel secure. That's especially true when it comes to the places where we get our health care.

And, it’s why Banner is committed to making all of our locations a safe place for care.

Whether you need to see your doctor, have an elective surgery, or receive any other routine or urgent health service, you can rest assured that we’ve taken all the steps we can to protect you and those you love.

Banner is making sure you don’t have to choose between safety and getting the care you need.

That’s a promise we put into practice. Here is what you can expect, at a minimum, in any of our locations to ensure that you’re in a safe place for care.

In our locations:

• In order to keep our patients and health care workers safe, visitors are restricted at Banner Health facilities with few exceptions.
• Patients, employees and visitors at all Banner locations are continuously masked.
• All employees and visitors are screened for COVID-19 symptoms prior to entering facilities.
• Lobbies and high-touch surfaces are cleaned and disinfected frequently.
• At Banner hospitals, all COVID-19 patients are kept in separate and strictly isolated quarters.
• Anyone scheduled for surgery has a COVID-19 test prior to surgery.
• Banner hospitals have entrances for surgical patients to avoid lobbies or waiting areas with other patients.
• At Banner hospitals, all COVID units have telehealth technology to enable physicians to conduct thorough audio/video patient assessments.
• Banner clinics have reconfigured waiting-room layouts to maintain proper social distancing.
• Banner Urgent Care and Banner Imaging have non-respiratory locations where patients with no fever or respiratory symptoms can receive care.
• 100% of our Banner physicians are able to see patients remotely via telehealth video.
• Virtual waiting rooms are available for all telehealth and in-person physician office visits.
