Accessing the Care You Need
Southwest General continues to provide safe, quality care for the communities
we serve. We follow all current guidelines from the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) to
keep patients, visitors and staff safe so that we can provide the quality
care and attention you need.
We encourage you not to delay seeking the care you need to maintain your health and wellness. Following is an update on service access at Southwest General:
Emergency Care – Don’t Delay!
The Southwest General Emergency Rooms on our Main Campus and at the Brunswick Medical Center are open, safe and ready to care for you. We encourage you to seek care immediately if you have a medical emergency. For serious injuries or urgent symptoms, such as chest pain, difficulty breathing or signs of a stroke, call 911 immediately or go to the emergency room. Don’t delay, as waiting to seek care can be life-threatening or cause permanent damage to your health.
Physician Appointments
Our Southwest General Medical Group (SGMG) physicians are seeing patients in person and via telehealth visits. We encourage you to make an appointment with your physician for the care you need to maintain your health and wellness. If you have medical questions or concerns or if you need preventive care—such as a mammogram or immunizations—contact your physician’s office today, or call our Health Connection at 440-816-5050 for a physician referral.
Outpatient Surgeries, Procedures and Lab Testing
To schedule an outpatient surgery or procedure, or for outpatient services
such as imaging, lab testing, physical therapy or cardiac rehabilitation,
call our Pre-Access Management Department at
440-816-8605.
