Recent Updates

Updated August 2, 2021

Emergency Department Overflow Tents - As you drive by a Health First hospital, you may notice tents outside of our emergency departments. These tents are part of our ongoing preparedness efforts and will serve as Emergency Department overflow - allowing the hospitals to treat our arriving patients safely, while creating additional capacity options within our hospitals.

Health First Diagnostics - Due to the recent surge in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, we have temporarily revised the hours of operation at our four hospital Health First Diagnostics locations. We encourage patients to consider our various Health First Medical Group locations for routine laboratory testing needs.

Elective and Non-Emergent Surgeries - Due to our increased number of COVID patients in our hospitals, Health First has made the decision to temporarily stop all non-emergency surgeries beginning Monday, August 2. Our healthcare system will continue to care for patients and perform emergent, medically necessary surgeries and procedures. Patients with scheduled elective procedures and surgeries will be contacted with further instructions.
