COVID-19 Updates (3/16/20)

An important update from Southwest Diagnostic Imaging Center regarding your upcoming appointment 

At Southwest Diagnostic Imaging Center, the safety and well-being of our patients, our staff, and our community is our number one priority. We would like to share up-to-date information and resources related to the Coronavirus outbreak and its relevance to your upcoming visit.

This is a disconcerting and challenging time for all of us, but as a healthcare provider, we must stay open to support our physicians and care for our patients. We are taking proper universal precautions by disinfecting our lobbies on a regular basis and disinfecting our procedure rooms between every patient. Of course, hand washing and the use of an approved alcohol-based hand scrub is widely in practice. Lastly, all patients and their guests are prescreened prior to admitting to allow us to take the necessary precautions.

Recent Change(s)

  • Valet – All campus valet service will be suspended until further notice.
  • Wheelchair Transport – Professional office building wheelchair transport is suspended until further notice.
