COVID-19 GUIDANCE
If you have a fever, cough, shortness of breath, or concerns about COVID-19 exposure, please do not visit the hospital. Instead, call for medical guidance. (In a life-threatening emergency, always call 9-1-1 or go to your closest ED.)
Baystate Health is working hard to make sure patients and staff are safe. If you have an emergency, do not hesitate to get the care you need.
