AMH sets up separate Neligh clinics

Neligh AMH Family Practice Clinic has begun separating patients with non-respiratory symptoms, such as back pain, med reviews, wellness baby checks, vaccinations, etc., from patients with respiratory symptoms, including shortness of breath, cough, sore throat and/or fever of 100.4°F or higher.

Separation of patients, by symptom, went into effect March 30.

The new Neligh AMH Family Practice Clinic will be the location for patients with respiratory issues to be seen during regular hours, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Patients with non-respiratory issues will be seen in the old Neligh Clinic, with entrance made through the old clinic entrance on the north side of the facility.

Patients will be screened over the phone before appointments are scheduled, as well as when they arrive at the old clinic.

If a patient answers yes to any of the screening questions, he or she will be masked and seen in the new Neligh AMH Family Practice Clinic.

Patients will have limited request options for provider depending on who the providers are at each clinic location and the time of the patient's appointment.
