Members of the community have expressed concerns about the surge in COVID-19 patients over the last few days. Redlands Community Hospital (RCH), like other hospitals in the region and nationally, is experiencing a sharp rise in the number of people coming to our emergency department who are testing positive for COVID-19.
Rest assured that RCH is working with its Inland Counties Emergency Medical Agency (ICEMA) and emergency medical services (EMS) providers to provide care to our community’s COVID patients. We are in contact with other area hospitals in a mutual effort to serve all COVID and non-COVID patients needing care.
RCH will care for all of our patients safely and effectively and COVID-19 protocols are in place throughout RCH to stop the spread of the pandemic. Our physicians and medical staff leadership are constantly monitoring the situation, allowing us to maintain the appropriate level of care for our patients. RCH’s goal is to quickly treat medical conditions safely and allow patients to go home in the safest, shortest possible time.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a new virus strain that is believed to spread in similar ways as the common cold, such as when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Symptoms include fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. A health care provider can give you instructions for seeking care, which you can do without exposing others.
Medical staff at Redlands Community Hospital are following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, and we have strong infection control policies, procedures, and systems in place. As recommended by the CDC, our clinicians are screening all patients for fever, respiratory symptoms, and travel history within a month prior to symptom onset. Anyone meeting the CDC-established criteria would be isolated and further testing and care will be guided by the health department.
How to protect yourself:
You can protect yourself from COVID-19 infection the same ways you protect against the common cold or seasonal flu.
If you feel sick, here’s what you should do:
We appreciate your trust in Redlands Community Hospital in providing your medical care. As you know, we are facing a sustained public health emergency that has reduced available medical and personnel resources available to hospitals and patients. During times such as these, it may be necessary to implement Crisis Standards of care. Redlands Community Hospital has adopted the California Crisis Care Continuum Guidelines.
California is one of a number of states with such guidance. Anchored in best practices from across the country, and guided by ethical principles and a commitment to equity, it provides a framework to help health care facilities and county health departments plan for the potential of a COVID-19 surge that is overwhelming. It aims to ensure that, should conditions push our systems into providing crisis care, we do so in a coordinated and thoughtful manner, using a common framework, procedures, and decision making that best protects the health of all Californians.
