Announcement
All patients will be called and rescheduled for telephone, Zoom or face to face encounters at the Susanville clinic. We ask that clients call the facility instead of coming into in in person in an effort to limit exposure in the clinic and will be implementing the option for Zoom encounters as early as next week.
Right now, we are testing patients that meet the guidelines below and some cases are being referred to Banner Lassen Medical Center for testing:
- Individuals with known exposure to a presumptive positive or confirmed COVID-19 case
- Travelers who returned from areas with sustained community transmission2 within 14 days prior to symptom onset
- Patients who are hospitalized or severely ill, regardless of age or comorbidities
- Individuals with pneumonia
- Health care workers, including emergency medical services (EMS) and other first responders
- Individuals residing in congregate living facilities (e.g. jails, shelters, long-term care facilities) call EMS or medical staff personnel like Banner Lassen Medical Center
If you believe you need to be tested please call the Lassen County COVID19 Call Center at (530) 251-8100 Mon. -Fri. 8:00am-5:00pm.
Northeastern is not turning any patients away; we are still attending to all patients needs including refills and appointments.
