Lakeland Medical Center issued the following announcement on April 11.
In keeping with the Governor’s executive order and to provide the safest care, until further notice Spectrum Health Lakeland is deferring specific surgeries, procedures, clinic appointments and radiology studies that can safely be done at a later date. Patients will be contacted directly if their appointment or surgery has been deferred or rescheduled.
Lakeland will continue to address the needs of patients by completing urgent, time sensitive appointments, tests and therapies. All Lakeland walk-in clinics and emergency departments also remain open to care for urgent needs. Patients are asked to contact their provider’s office directly if they have questions.
This decision is also in line with revised visitor policies at all Lakeland facilities and in an effort to prevent the spread of illness and protect patients, healthcare workers and community members. Until further notice, restricted/no visitors will be allowed at any Lakeland locations (hospitals, outpatient locations and long-term care facilities). For special circumstances, one approved visitor will be allowed in situations involving patients undergoing surgery and pediatric, maternity, end of life, or critically ill patients.
