A Safe Place for Care | MedStar Health

The safety of our patients will always be our top priority.


As the largest healthcare provider in the region, MedStar Health has always focused on providing a safe, clean, and secure environment. Our team members are highly trained in taking all the necessary precautions to protect our patients, their families, and our associates. Now, we’re taking extra precautions to help you feel at ease during your care. Each member of our team is focused on keeping you and your loved ones safe. Here’s what you can expect:
  • Safe providers: Our physicians, nurses, and other healthcare team members use the proper safety gear to protect themselves and you to keep everyone healthy.
  • Masking: All patients and visitors are expected to wear a mask during their visit, regardless of symptoms. We will provide one for you, if needed.
  • Cleaning and disinfecting: We thoroughly sanitize and disinfect all patient exam, waiting, and procedure rooms multiple times each day.
  • Hand sanitizing: Hand sanitizer dispensing stations are available throughout every facility.
  • Staggered appointments: We are carefully managing our schedules to minimize the number of people coming through our waiting rooms at one time.
  • Screening patients and visitors: We are screening all patients and approved visitors for symptoms at every hospital and medical office location.
  • Physical distancing: While inside our facilities, we’ll help you practice physical distancing with floor markers, signage, and reconfigured waiting areas.
  • You will never feel socially distant. MedStar Health associates care about you. Our mantra–It’s how we treat people–is what drives us all to do what we do.
