An update to our community.
As we continue to see new cases of COVID-19 in New Hampshire, today we'd like to share more information about new ways to get care and new ways to lend your support.
COMMUNITY HOTLINE
Wentworth-Douglass Hospital's new COVID-19 Community Hotline will serve as a nursing triage phone line for those who have symptoms of COVID-19 or have general COVID-19 questions.
The COVID-19 Community Hotline is accessible by calling (603) 609-6000.
Operating Hours
Monday through Friday
8:00 a.m. - 5:00.p.m.
Saturday and Sunday
9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Depending on your symptoms, the Hotline nurses may direct you to the Wentworth-Douglass Hospital Respiratory Illness Clinic outside of our Emergency Department at 789 Central Avenue. The clinic is open Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
This Respiratory Illness Clinic is meant for patients experiencing moderate COVID-19 symptoms, such as severe coughing, fever (above 100.4), chills, and a general feeling of malaise or fatigue that prevents you from getting out of bed or off the couch. Those at high-risk for experiencing these COVID-19 symptoms include people who are age 70 or older, with severe lung disease (asthma, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, COPD, emphysema, etc.), severe heart disease, those on dialysis, among others.
Please note that patients experiencing a medical emergency should always call 9-1-1. |
