If it is an emergency, dial 911.

If you are experiencing fever, cough, minor respiratory symptoms (such as shortness of breath— which could be a major issue), or have had exposure to COVID-19, it is best to stay home and contact your primary care provider to avoid exposing others.  The best treatment for minor symptoms is rest and supportive care (acetaminophen, ibuprofen and other over the counter medications).  

For more severe symptoms, we encourage you to call prior to coming in order to help determine the best treatment of care.  

Please call Saunders Medical Center Family Clinic (402-443-4191) during clinic hours.  After hours, please call the SMC Nurse Care Line (402-443-1448). https://saundersmedicalcenter.com/about-us/contact-us-today.html
