Keeping Our Patients Safe at Glenwood Radiology

At Glenwood Radiology, your safety is our highest priority. During this global COVID-19 pandemic, our commitment to giving you a safe, reliable place to receive care is even more important to us.

Serving Our Patients Before, During and After COVID-19

During the height of the pandemic, our clinics remained opened to serve our communities for those needing immediate care with enhanced safety measures. Thanks to the efforts of all our fellow community members and neighbours by staying home and effectively controlling the spread of the virus, our clinics will continue to expand our services to meet the needs of our communities with continued safety measures.

How we are keeping our patients safe

Guided by Alberta Health Services and recommendations from the Public Health Agency of Canada, we have taken a number of steps outlined in our Safety Protocols & Clinical Processes below in addition to our standard rigorous infection control measures to ensure our facilities remain safe places for you to confidently receive care.

You can be confident that you will receive safe, high-quality, compassionate care from your team at Glenwood Radiology!

Screening & Triage
We screen all patients and visitors for COVID-19 symptoms at several different points:

  • During your phone call with your physician
  • At the time of booking and confirming your in-person visit (clinics only)
  • At Triage (upon entry of the building), you will be required to complete the COVID-19 screening questionnaire and sign, and we will also check your Temperature. (all visitors and patients)
Cleaning, Reorganization & Check-In
  • Common Areas: Areas such as waiting rooms, lobbies and restrooms are cleaned daily with special attention to frequently touched surfaces including doorknobs, armrests and handrails.
  • Exam Rooms: These are fully cleaned and disinfected after each patient use.
  • Floor Markings and Furniture Rearrangement: We have made special arrangements to support physical distancing. You may see markers on the floors to show where people should stand for check-in and check-out. We have rearranged furniture in some waiting areas to create more space between patients, and are scheduling appointments to ensure that fewer people are in our clinics at any given time.
