**COVID-19 UPDATE – 1/14/2021**

Snoqualmie Valley Hospital adheres to Department of Health guidance regarding the current COVID vaccine administration phase. Please go to the DOH’s www.FindYourPhaseWA.org to learn if you are currently eligible. If you are not yet eligible there is an opportunity to sign up on that site to receive notification when your group moves into an active phase. We do not have phone line capacity to manage requests for inclusion on notification lists; there will be a scheduling link added to this site when eligibility opens to sectors of the general public.

Snoqualmie Valley Hospital COVID-19 testing site is open as a drive-thru service and will be open 9:00am to 3:30pm Monday to Friday. Testing is recommended only for those with current symptoms or a recent direct and unprotected exposure to a known positive case. Registration forms will be delivered to waiting cars closest to the entry tent and can also be downloaded and completed prior to arrival.

Completed forms’ content will be captured in a photo through a raised car door window along with insurance and ID cards to limit staff exposure. Participants will be coached through the collection of their own nasal sample. Results will be available for review on our on-line portal 3-7 business days after collection; accounts will be created during the registration process.

NOTE: by order of King County Health Officer anyone who undergoes COVID testing for symptoms or exposure to someone with the virus must quarantine at least until test results are known and longer if results detect virus.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR VISITORS: For the protection of our vulnerable inpatients, we remain closed to in-person visitation. Several alternatives are available to maintain family connections—ask your family member’s care team for more details on these options.”
