As more patients test positive for the coronavirus in the U.S., Texas and Travis County health care clinics will continue to determine if patients may seek attention in person or via telemedicine services.

Community Impact Newspaper reached out to nearly a dozen clinics and hospitals in the Lake Travis-Westlake area for information and guidance for patients in need of care, whether they suspect their illness might be related to the coronavirus or whether the problem is unrelated.

The following information will be updated as more area health care facilities respond to Community Impact Newspaper's query and is also included in the interactive map below.

For telemedicine information: Baylor Scott & White has virtual care options such as video visits via its app, MyBSWHealth, on the web or via the mobile app. Users can text BETTER to 88408 to download it. Patients with an upcoming scheduled visit will soon be contacted by their provider as work continues to convert in-person appointments to virtual care options as appropriate.


For more information on in-person visits: Those who need a new appointment should call a provider’s office. For anyone who has questions or concerns about their risk of infection with coronavirus, a free online screening questionnaire is available on MyBSWHealth. The results of this questionnaire may give reassurance about low risk with recommendations for hygiene and social distancing or may recommend further evaluation for those with more significant risk.
