JFL's temporary reduced-hours window has ended

The special administrative and outpatient schedule ran through Friday, September 11; the newsroom alert has been retired, while emergency and inpatient care were never reduced.

UPDATEUpdated Sept. 12: The announced reduced-hours period ended after Friday, September 11, so the active alert has been retired. Patients should use JFL's current channels to confirm future appointments and routine service hours.

Gov. Juan F. Luis Hospital's temporary schedule for several administrative and outpatient services ran through Friday, September 11. The announced window has ended, so WelcomeToVI no longer marks it as an active service alert.

During the temporary schedule, outpatient registration, laboratory, radiology, cardiac rehabilitation and several administrative offices operated on reduced hours. Emergency and inpatient services remained fully operational around the clock.

Patients with an upcoming procedure, test or appointment should use the hospital's current channels to confirm the time before traveling. The earlier September 8 notice should not be treated as the hospital's standing schedule.

SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENT

JFL should place the temporary schedule on its main website and phone system, directly notify affected patients, and publish a confirmation when regular hours resume after September 11.
