Effective Tuesday, Feb. 2, the Aultman Healthcare Delivery System will update current patient visitation guidelines. Please click here to see the latest restrictions.

Any person who enters an Aultman facility will be required to wear a cloth face covering or face mask that covers the nose and mouth. If a patient is unable to tolerate a mask, staff will wear eye protection when interacting with that patient. If an individual does not have their own mask, our screening teams, located at each entrance, will provide them with a dust mask and education on the appropriate use of the mask. Click here for more information on the latest steps we've taken to protect our patients and staff. 

If you have additional questions about Aultman’s response to coronavirus, we have established a phone line which is available now and will continue to be available seven days a week from 7 a.m. – 11 p.m. The phone number is 330-363-0205.

As the state of Ohio transitions the COVID-19 vaccination effort from Phase 1a to Phase 1b and 1c, the state has identified Aultman as a potential distributer of COVID-19 vaccines to the general public. However, in an effort to provide streamlined and efficient service to the community, Aultman will be collaborating with the Stark County Public Health Department and the Wayne County Health Department to vaccinate individuals in Phase 1b and 1c. This means that while Aultman may provide staff and/or other physical resources to support the vaccination effort, the vaccines themselves will be scheduled by these two health departments.

Aultman Orrville Hospital (AOH) will serve as the site for Wayne County Health Department’s vaccinations. Aultman Alliance Community Hospital (AACH) has been selected as a Stark County vaccination site.

The Ohio Department of Health has launched a new website to help Ohioans find vaccine locations. Visit https://vaccine.coronavirus.ohio.gov/ for the full list.

In addition, all Aultman primary care practices and clinics have submitted applications to the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) to receive the COVID-19 vaccine for our patients. As our requests are approved and vaccines are received, we will follow Ohio Department of Health (ODH) guidance on making the vaccine available to patient populations based on the state’s vaccination plan.

 Ohio is currently in Phase 1c of Ohio's vaccination plan. Phase 1c includes:

• Ohioans age 60 and older
• Those with Type 1 diabetes
• Pregnant women
• Bone marrow transplant recipients
• Those with ALS
• Law enforcement, corrections officers and firefighters
• Child care services employees
• Funeral services employees

Phase 1c includes approximately 246,000 eligible Ohioans with certain occupations and with certain medical conditions NOT addressed in previous phases. To see who is eligible in Phase 1a and Phase 1b, please click here. 

If you would like to be added to our vaccine notification list, please click here. Based on eligibility and availability, a member of our team will contact you to schedule an appointment. Quantities are limited, and an appointment is necessary.

If you feel sick with fever, cough or shortness of breath and have recently been in close contact with someone known to have COVID-19, or if you live in or have recently traveled to an area with ongoing spread of COVID-19, call your primary care doctor.

Your health care professional must give you an order for COVID testing before making your appointment with a testing center. Aultman offers COVID testing at these three locations:

Aultman Alliance Community Hospital

Aultman Alliance COVID Drive-Thru Center
1750 S. Union Ave.
Alliance, OH 44601

With COVID hospitalizations continuing to reach new heights during the recent surge, Aultman Health Foundation will be evaluating surgery options on a week-by-week basis based on hospital occupancy and COVID admissions to allow us to make the best use of resources and provide the highest-quality care.

At this time, Aultman main campus will be suspending elective procedures requiring an overnight stay. Aultman Orrville and Aultman Alliance will continue to offer elective inpatient procedures. This may change in the weeks ahead as we continue to evaluate our occupancy and admissions. Urgent, emergency and outpatient procedures will continue to be available. If you have any questions, contact your doctor for additional information. 

Aultman Medical Group is asking all patients with upcoming appointments who are experiencing cough, fever, sore throat or shortness of breath to please notify their provider’s office before arriving for their appointments. Additionally, if you have recently been in close contact with someone known to have COVID-19 or have recently traveled to an area with an ongoing spread of COVID-19, please contact the office in advance. 

Out of an abundance of caution to provide a greater degree of protection against the spread of COVID-19, we ask that all patients with previously scheduled appointments at an Aultman Medical Group practice arrive at their appointment unaccompanied. If necessary, one support person is permitted to escort each patient to their appointment on an as-needed basis.

• At Aultman Hospital main campus, we have reduced our stations at the cafeteria, Seasons Café and Express Mart to eliminate any self-serve items. For the safety of the community, if you do choose to eat in Seasons Café or the cafeteria, please do not rearrange tables or chairs. This will ensure proper six foot distancing for all guests.
• At Aultman Alliance Community Hospital, the Café is not offering self-service stations and is encouraging to-go dining.
• At Aultman Orrville Hospital, the cafeteria is not offering self-service stations and is encouraging to-go dining. For the safety of the community, if you do choose to eat in the AOH cafeteria, please do not rearrange tables or chairs. This will ensure proper six foot social distancing for all guests.

COVID-19 has caused a national shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE).

We are asking members of our community to consider donating any PPE they may have available in an effort to help protect our nurses and health care workers.
