Here at Indiana Regional Medical Center, we have made your safety our number one priority during this unprecedented COVID-19 state of emergency. As recommended by the State, our departments have postponed all non-emergent surgeries, procedures, in-person office visits and outpatient testing in order to do our part to stop the spread of COVID-19. By keeping everyone safe at home, we can do our part to help flatten the curve.
That being said, we would like to remind you that our frontline staff, including our physicians and providers, are here for you during this challenging time. We are dedicated to ensuring the continuum of your care during this public health crisis.
Don’t delay care because of COVID-19.
Routine care that is postponed can lead to urgent (or even emergent) care. Do not wait to call your doctor! The IRMC Physician Group is now providing tele-medicine visits on your smart phone or home computer as well as virtual check-in visits over the telephone in order to avoid any potential delay or lapse in routine patient care, as well as any other medical concerns you may have.
Please call 1-888-452-4762 to schedule an appointment with your provider or modify an upcoming appointment.
Don’t have a primary care physician or need care on the weekend? No problem. Our UrgiCare and Occupational Medicine are now offering tele-medicine. For a tele-medicine appointment with UrgiCare, call 724-459-1740 (Blairsville) or 724-357-7493 (Indiana).
If you feel that you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, speak to a doctor via tele-medicicine before visiting a facility.

Connecting with loved ones who are hospitalized.
Due to COVID-19 precautions, IRMC temporarily changed our visitor policy, limiting the ability for friends and family to visit during a hospital stay. But that does not mean patients can’t connect with their loved ones. We want our patients to feel as at home as possible, here’s how:
How to Stay in Touch
Coping with COVID-19 Related Stress.
Everyone is experiencing heightened stress due to COVID-19. The CDC has advice on coping–for everyone from parents and children to first responders and more. Fear and anxiety about this disease can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions. Coping with stress will make you, the people you care about, and our community stronger.
How to Manage Stress
Indiana Regional Medical Center is grateful for our community’s ongoing support and cooperation as we work to protect local families from the spread of COVID-19. We will continue to provide information on what we know about the virus and how you can help to keep Indiana County and beyond healthy.
