We’re in this with you, to help you get the care you need, safely.

Vanderbilt Health has restarted surgeries, procedures and clinic visits that were paused or delayed. Safety is our top priority, with measures that follow – and in some cases exceed – local, state and CDC public health recommendations.

Everyone wears a mask – patients, visitors, doctors, nurses and staff. We’re sanitizing rooms between each patient, and cleaning public spaces frequently throughout the day. We’re checking everyone for fever and symptoms before they enter our facilities.
We’ve spaced chairs in waiting areas, limited the number who can ride elevators at once and made other changes so we can keep a safe (6 feet) physical distance.
And telehealth visits may be an option if you and your doctor agree it is right for your care.
