Beebe to resume elective surgeries June 1st

LEWES, Del. – Beebe Healthcare will resume elective surgeries and other procedures on June 1st.

Throughout the pandemic, urgent and emergent surgeries and procedures have been performed, however elective surgeries were postponed starting in March. While these postponed non-emergent and elective surgeries will be performed starting June 1st, Beebe is already working with surgeons, specialists, and other physicians to schedule patients as quickly as possible. Patients who are waiting to reschedule their postponed surgery, imaging, or lab appointment will receive a call from their provider or Beebe’s scheduling team over the next several weeks to schedule appointments.

New safety features are also in place at all of Beebe’s care sites, including Plexiglass barriers at registration areas, visual cues on floors and other places to remind everyone about physical distancing, reminders about the requirement of face coverings, pre-surgery COVID-19 testing for all surgery patients, scheduled appointments for all lab and imaging visits, waiting room modifications, car side registration/waiting, and extra cleaning and disinfecting protocols.
