At Omega Hospital, health and safety is our greatest priority. To protect our patients, physicians, staff, and community, we have instituted important measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. They include the following:
We take just as much time caring for our patients as we do our guest. If you are a patient staying overnight, one guest is welcome to stay with you. Children are not allowed to spend the night. Each patient suit is equipped with a murphy bed to provide a comfortable place for a guest to sleep. Guests may also use our gourmet coffee station located in the waiting lounges on the 4th and 5th floor.
During your procedure family members and friends are invited to wait for you in your patient suite. Each suite has been designed to maximize comfort for both patients and a loved one spending the night. They feature amenities of a high-end hotel, such as flat screen TVs, a mini-bar, and a microwave. Vending machines are available on the 4th floor. Gourmet coffee stations are located in the waiting lounges on the 4th and 5th floor.
