Beebe Medical Center issued the following announcement. Oct. 6
Beebe Healthcare has resumed valet service at the Margaret H. Rollins Lewes Campus with enhanced safety precautions due to COVID-19.
Patients and visitors may use the service at Beebe’s main entrance on the west side of the campus near the parking garage. Valet had moved to the east entrance – where inpatient pickup and the emergency department is located – during the construction of the new main entrance. Please note that visitor restrictions are still in place. One well visitor may visit a patient per day, and visiting hours are between 2-7 p.m.
The new valet process features a number of safety steps developed by Beebe’s infection prevention team, including seat covers, personal protective equipment, and frequent hand hygiene.
“Safety is a top priority at all of our Beebe Healthcare sites and we want our patients and visitors to feel safe at all times,” said David A. Tam, MD, MBA, FACHE, President & CEO, Beebe Healthcare. “Beebe is safe and open – please do not delay your care. Our entire team is taking every precaution to keep this community safe during the pandemic, while providing quality compassionate care.”
Valet safety procedures include:
- As car arrives, valet performs hand hygiene (already has mask on)
- Valet approaches car and asks that driver lower all windows
- Valet places seat cover on and gets in vehicle, keeping as many windows open as possible depending on weather
- Valet parks vehicle and returns to the podium to store keys and performs hand hygiene
- When the car is returned, the same hand hygiene procedures are followed and the seat cover will be removed for the patient or visitor.
