If you have driven by the hospital lately, you may notice something a little different today. We have taken down the brown tent. The Respiratory Clinic is still open daily from 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM. We encourage anyone experiencing symptoms to call our 24/7 COVID-19 Hotline at (618)263-6233 to schedule an appointment at WGH’s Respiratory Clinic. Please continue to take the COVID-19 pandemic seriously and take all precautions to maintain social distancing recommendations. Wash your hands frequently and isolate yourself if you are not feeling well.
WGH has plenty of testing capacity and continues to test daily through our drive-thru testing, which is available at Wabash General Hospital in Mt. Carmel and WGH’s Albion Medical Clinic in Edwards County, Illinois.
All of our offices, including our Grayville and Albion locations, remain open and will continue to treat all who seek care at each location. We have taken measures to protect patients coming to our offices. Please call the office to make an appointment prior to arriving. All oncology patients can have their labs done in oncology. All patients being seen at one of our clinic locations in person, should stay in their vehicle upon arrival and check in by calling the office. The office will contact you when we have an exam room ready. All of our primary care offices, orthopaedic & sports medicine office and oncology office are still offering virtual visits. You do not have to be an established patient of Wabash General Hospital to use this service.
