We have developed this resource page and a daily digest email to minimize the number of emails our providers and staff are getting daily. By going to this page, you will be able to access the latest information in your area in real time and will try to minimize blast emails for urgent information.
Welcome to the COVID-19 GW Health Resource Page. The clinical and administrative teams throughout our system (at the GW Medical Faculty Associates, the GW Hospital, and the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences) have developed policies and protocols in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are including documents that have been sent to the community starting (date) and we are frequently revising them as the COVID-19 situation evolves. When using the documents, we caution you to be mindful of the date the document was produced and to check that against current knowledge and evolving clinical standards. All of this information is updated on a regular basis.
