When to "Call Ahead" Before you Visit Your Healthcare Provider

Since the start of the Coronavirus/COVID-19 outbreak, Horn Memorial Hospital and Ida County Public Health has worked closely with the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) to monitor potential cases of COVID-19. We have and will continue to work with our local, state and national partners to be ready for this virus.

If you have a medical appointment, call the healthcare provider and tell them if you have a fever, cough or shortness of breath. This will help the healthcare provider’s office take steps to keep other patients from getting exposed.
