Our Commitment to Your Safety
It’s important that you do not postpone care that you need to get healthy and stay well. Bakersfield Heart Hospital is committed to safely caring for the communities we serve, informed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), state and local guidelines, and we use the best available clinical evidence to care for our patients.
Our hospital Emergency Department is fully operational to care for any emergent needs, with alternate care spaces set up to triage patients who arrive with COVID-19-related symptoms. We’ve resumed elective surgeries and procedures while minimizing COVID-19 related risks for you, other patients, and caregivers.
