The rise of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a global, national and local concern. We want to assure our patients and the community that Hays Med, part of The University of Kansas Health System is working closely with local, state and federal health officials to prepare.  Our top priority is keeping our patients, visitors and staff safe and as a result, we will be implementing the following changes:

Effective 6 a.m. Saturday: 

*Patients and visitors must use Entrance B, which is located at the Miller Pavilion from 6:00 am - 8:30 pm for hospital access.  *Patients must use the Emergency Entrance from 8:30 pm - 6:00 am

*Visitors are limited to 1 person per day from 6:00 am – 8:30 pm.  No visitors will be allowed to enter after 8:30 pm.

*All patients must use Entrance E at Bickle/Eagle Health Complex (The Center for Health Improvement) for Orthopedic, Outpatient Rehab, Surgery, and Cardiac Rehab Services. 

* We have implemented temperature screenings upon entry into our facilities. When you enter the hospital, you will be directed to a screening station where someone will take your temperature. This process will include health system employees. Every person arriving at our facilities must receive a temperature screening before entering.  Visitors and staff with a temperature will not be allowed in the facility.

*Valet parking services have changed.  Valet parking at our main campus has closed. Between the hours of 8:00 am and 4:30 pm. we will be happy to meet you with a wheelchair at your vehicle and assist you to and from your appointment.  Please enter the drive thru at Entrance B and someone will assist you.
