Care for your health during the pandemic: Chronic conditions, and acute care

Your health needs don’t stop because of COVID-19. Northfield Hospital + Clinics doesn’t stop, either.

We are caring for essential health needs during the pandemic. With systemwide precautions in all our locations – plus Video Visits – we can care for you safely.

Chronic conditions: It takes consistent care to manage conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease. Stay in touch with your provider via clinic appointments or Video Visits. Your provider will work with you to determine the best options for your care.

Acute illness or injury: Healthy people of all ages can suddenly experience a condition that needs urgent attention: asthma attack, strep throat, urinary tract infection, appendicitis, kidney stones or gallstones.

Injuries – cuts, burns, sprains, broken bones, animal bites – need immediate attention, too.

Call your clinic if you have:

Abdominal pain Vomiting or persistent diarrhea Wheezing or shortness of breath Painful urination Dehydration Sprains and strains Cuts that may require stitches Sore throat Ear pain Eye redness, discharge or itchiness

The Emergency Department is always open, if you need urgent care that can’t wait until the clinic is open.

Take care of your health. We’re here when you need us.
