Alliance Cancer Care Colorado at Red Rocks is taking every precaution to ensure patient and community safety in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has provided guidance and critical objectives for U.S. healthcare facilities, including appropriate hand hygiene, cough etiquette, and social distancing. In addition to emphasizing and practicing the CDC guidance for healthcare personnel, we have a comprehensive infection control policy and standard process to mitigate the risk of transmission of infectious disease, including COVID-19.

Pre-Screening, Scheduling, and Rescheduling

In addition to emphasizing and practicing the CDC guidance for healthcare personnel, we have implemented a pre-screening process for patients to mitigate the risk of transmission of COVID-19. Patients with scheduled treatment(s): If you were not displaying symptoms at the time of scheduling your treatment(s), but have since began to experience symptoms of COVID-19 (including a fever, cough, sore throat or shortness of breath/difficulty breathing), please do not come to our center. Call your referring provider on next steps in your care, and call us at (720) 420-3300 to speak with a Care Team member. If you are determined to be in an at-risk category, your referring or primary care providers will assist you with the next steps in your care; we will work with you to reschedule your appointment appropriately.
