New plan balances patient convenience, limiting exposure to virus 

PLATTSBURGH, NY (6/13/2022) – Beginning today, patients requiring elective procedures at The University of Vermont Health Network-Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital (CVPH), the CVPH Kevin J. Carroll Ambulatory Surgery Center, or certain CVPH office-based procedures are undergoing a COVID-19 antigen test immediately prior to the procedure, regardless of vaccination status.

Individuals who have recovered from a verifiable, laboratory-confirmed case of COVID-19 within 90 days of the initial diagnosis, have completed their quarantine of 10 days and are asymptomatic will not be tested.

To ensure verification and accuracy, the tests will be supplied by the hospital and must be witnessed by a staff member. Tests taken at home by patients will not be accepted. Previously, patients were required to get a PCR test done at the hospital’s first floor laboratory four days before their scheduled procedure. CVPH Vice President of Medical Affairs and Chief Medical Officer Lisa Mark, MD noted that the change was made in accordance with new guidelines released by the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH).
