NEW OCR COVID-19 INFORMATION

Keeping you, our patients, and our employees healthy and safe during the Coronavirus event is important. In order to promote a safe environment and prevent viral spread, OCR is highly encouraging, but not requiring, ONE visitor, including children, per patient until further notice. Masks are NOT REQUIRED if you are fully vaccinated.  Masks REQUIRED if you are partially or not vaccinated.

OCR Surgery Centers & Recovery Center

Fort Collins, Loveland, and Longmont ASC’s is requiring all patients and visitors to wear a mask when entering the facility.

PLEASE RESCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT IF YOU OR YOUR GUEST HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS OF FEVER, COLD, OR FLU.

Please continue to practice safe distancing during your visit. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

We ask that you please DO NOT ENTER any of our OCR Campuses if you have:

  • FEVER
  • Respiratory Symptoms (Cough, Shortness of Breath)
  • Chills / Repeated Shaking with Chills
  • Sore Throat
  • New Loss of Taste or Smell

If you meet one of the above criteria AND have developed a fever with respiratory symptoms we kindly ask that you do not enter any of our OCR Campuses for the health and safety of others.

We are continuing to monitor the situation closely and feel that we can continue providing orthopaedic care and proceed with elective procedures that we feel are safe and appropriate.  We recognize that elective procedures may be in the best interest of our patients so they do not deteriorate or worsen and become urgent or emergent procedures in the future.  Additionally, we appreciate that the scheduling or canceling of procedures is difficult, both on patients and their families and provider schedules. We are staying closely connected with our surgery centers so we can coordinate your care accordingly. We will continue to assess the situation daily and will make every attempt to communicate changes as soon as possible. If you develop any flu-like symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath) prior to your surgery, please contact your OCR surgeon.
