Governor Inslee has announced a halt to elective surgeries due to rising COVID-19 cases. The governor's announcement applies to hospital surgical cases, but it does not apply to outpatient orthopedic surgical cases scheduled at the NWOS Ambulatory Surgery Center. The Surgery Center, as well as all NWOS Clinics and Express Walk-In Clinics, are open.
The COVID‐19 pandemic has altered almost everything about our lives. In health care, clinics, hospitals, and surgical centers are often short‐staffed, or overcrowded caring for COVID patients. This has forced many people to delay surgeries and treatment of orthopedic injuries and conditions, adding painful or debilitating waiting to an already stressful situation.
When your bones, joints, or muscles are injured or hurting, it’s comforting to know that NW Orthopedic Express Clinics offer no-hassle walk-in capability, orthopedic expertise, and treatment options to help you get back in action.
Northwest Orthopaedic Specialists is pleased to announce the opening of two brand new NWOS locations - on the South Hill and North Division at the Y.
