Most hospitals across Illinois are now able to offer elective procedures. Taylorville Memorial Hospital CEO Kim Bourne says they’re doing almost everything they were doing before COVID-19, but some new steps have been put into place to protect patients and staff.

In accordance with IDPH guidelines you need to have a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of your elective procedure.
 

There are some procedures though that do not require a negative COVID-19 test.

Taylorville Memorial Hospital CEO Kim Bourne was a guest on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
