Covid Guidance Update

Safety remains our highest priority as LSSH continues to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Guidelines remain in place to ensure the safety of everyone and reduce risk of infection. Below is a summary of the expectations for all visitors and healthcare workers that enter LSSH.

MASKS

Louisiana Department of Health recommends that everyone entering LSSH is required to always wear a mask, regardless of vaccination status.

This includes all patients, visitors, and members of our team, even in non-clinical areas
Masks may be removed when eating/drinking in designated areas

SCREENING

Everyone will be screened upon entry to LSSH for symptoms, including:

Fever greater than or equal to 100.4°F
Cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Sore throat
Congestion that differs from their typical seasonal allergies
Body aches
Fatigue
Loss of smell/taste
Vomiting/Diarrhea

PRE-OPERATIVE TESTING

Preoperative COVID-19 testing is performed at the request of your physician.

Everyone is expected to maintain a social distance (6 feet or more) when appropriate

VISITATION GUIDELINES

All patients are allowed two healthy visitors over the age of 18 to accompany them to the hospital. Exceptions are made for pediatric and special needs patients.

My stay at Lafayette Surgical Specialty Hospital was the best. Everyone was compassionate and professional. I only suffered minimal pain. The food was excellent; the hospital was very clean and orderly. I’m very particular about cleanliness and the hospital met even my tough standards. Everyone was so kind. God Bless.

I rate this hospital and my experience a 5 out of 5 stars. I have to say that the facility is very clean. Precautions are taken to protect the hospital, staff, and patients against Covid. I would not hesitate to recommend Lafayette Surgical Specialty Hospital to anyone. Just can’t say enough positive things about the hospital and all the staff. Thank you!

My son had his adenoids taken out and tubes put in. Everybody from the front desk to recovery was awesome! My toddler was a handful but they did everything they could to make all of us comfortable.
-Sydney

My husband and I both have chronic illnesses so we have been in numerous hospitals. This was the most pleasant experience we have ever had. The staff was very accommodating and when you called the nurses station someone came to the room immediately. The food was even the best hospital food. Recommend to anyone.
