COVID-19 Safety

Get the safe care you need from MIMIT Health during the COVID-19 pandemic

At MIMIT Health, every patient can expect a clean, safe environment and an expert team ready to serve you.

We are guided by the latest recommendations from state and national organizations, including the Illinois Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the World Health Organization (WHO).

We have taken a number of steps in addition to our standard rigorous infection control measures to ensure our facilities remain safe places for you to confidently receive care.

Masks and Hand Sanitizer

  • Masks for Staff:  All staff wear masks. The type of mask staff members wear is determined by the type of care they provide, to best ensure their safety and the safety of our patients.

  • Masks for Patients and Visitors: All patients and anyone with them will be asked to wear a mask or cloth face covering while in our healthcare facilities. You may bring your own, or if you don’t have one, face masks are available at each entrance.

  • Hand Sanitizer: Hand sanitizer is available at each entrance and at numerous locations throughout each building. Everyone is asked to sanitize their hands when they enter the building. In addition, each member of our healthcare staff sanitizes their hands before and after each patient encounter.

 Clean and safe Facilities

  • Common Areas: Areas such as waiting rooms, lobbies, and restrooms are cleaned often with special attention to frequently touched surfaces including doorknobs, armrests and handrails.

  • Exam Rooms: These are fully cleaned and disinfected between each patient.

  • Floor Markings and Furniture Rearrangement: We have made special arrangements to facilitate social distancing. You may see markers on the floors to show where people should stand for check-in and check-out. We have rearranged furniture in some waiting areas to create more space between patients, and are scheduling appointments to ensure that fewer people are in our clinics at any given time.

  • Waiting Room Organization: Waiting rooms are organized to keep patients with respiratory symptoms separate from patients receiving other types of care. Special arrangements are made for patients being evaluated for COVID-19 or possible COVID-19 to arrive through a specific process and be immediately settled into a private exam room to reduce the chances of other patients being exposed to the virus.

Your safety is our highest priority. During this global COVID-19 pandemic and beyond, our commitment to giving you a safe, reliable place to receive care is even more important to us.
