People across the country are still feeling the psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many fear entering hospitals or health care facilities due to exposure, even if they have symptoms that require attention. To that end, the compassionate team at Kona Community Hospital in Kealakekua, HI, wants to remind residents that they’re here and ready to assist.

How Kona Community Hospital Is Fighting Against COVID-19

With 52% of Americans still afraid to seek health care services, the team at Kona Community Hospital understands how important it is to create a safe, secure environment. That’s why they’re going above and beyond to keep their facilities ready, safe, and open for you.

To start, they’re requiring all attendees to don face masks any time they enter the building. They’re also screening all attendees, visitors, and staff for COVID-19 symptoms to minimize the chances of exposure.

The staff is keeping up with extra cleaning and disinfecting routines to ensure a sterile environment. All attendants must maintain at least six feet of distance to abide by social distancing rules as well.

The health and safety of their community and healthcare workers remain their top priorities.
