Abbeville Area Medical Center will be reopening its Respiratory Clinic beginning Monday, August 9th. The clinic is located at 901 West Greenwood Street Suite 5, in between the hospital and Healthcare Center.
“We have seen an alarmingly fast increase in the number of positive COVID-19 tests during our testing events as well as in the number of COVID-19 patients admitted to our hospital,” stated Cindy Buck, AAMC Interim CEO.
The clinic will be open Monday – Friday to see those who are experiencing respiratory symptoms and feel they need to be seen. Patients are asked to call the screening line at 864-366-1770 for further instructions before coming to the clinic. On weekends or after hours, patients should come to the Emergency Department.
Anyone experiencing additional symptoms like chest pain or extreme shortness of breath should come directly to the Abbeville Area Medical Center Emergency Department.
With the Delta variant rapidly spreading, Abbeville Area Medical Center continues to encourage community members to closely follow current CDC recommendations which now include wearing a mask indoors even if you’re vaccinated in areas where transmission is substantial or high. Currently, this includes every County in South Carolina. Also, when in public, be vigilant with social distancing and wash hands frequently or use hand sanitizer to prevent the spread of COVID-19 illness.
