COVID-19 - What You Need to Know
ACCESS TO THE CARE YOU NEED, WHEN YOU NEED IT
Confluence Health is joining Washington’s 112 hospitals and health systems to launch an outreach campaign for the health and safety of members of our community.
Our community’s response to the COVID-19 has been nothing short of amazing. By staying home, you’ve saved lives. Lately though, we’re seeing the consequences of people staying away from health care. Please do not delay getting the health care you need.
Additionally, masks are now required at all of our outpatient facilities. If you are visiting for an appointment, you will be asked to wear a mask. If you do not have your own mask, one will be provided prior to you entering the building for your appointment. Please click here for homemade mask patterns if you are interested in making your own.
As we continue to strive to decrease the number of COVID-19 cases in our community, we are taking steps to increase in-person visits to our hospital and clinics. We are also increasing our Virtual Visits capabilities for most of our clinics so that we can continue to serve patients for whom a virtual appointment is best.
Please remember that your safety and well-being is important to our health care team —and please know that your questions and concerns will be handled with care.
SCHEDULING VIRTUAL VISIT APPOINTMENTS
You may now schedule an appointment to consult with a primary or specialty care provider via phone conversation or by video conference through your MyChart account or app.
To schedule a virtual visit, please send a message through MyChart at mychart.confluencehealth.org or call: 509.663.8711.

VISITING POLICY AT CONFLUENCE HEALTH
Our patient care philosophy recognizes the many benefits of engaging families and friends in the healing process. However, since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been taking extra measures to protect our patients, visitors and staff, including restrictions on routine visiting at our Central Washington Hospital and Wenatchee Valley Hospital facilities.
