Masks
Masking is still required at most Stoughton Health locations. As we continue to receive and treat respiratory illnesses and masks are an important tool in infection prevention and control.
Whether you have a mammogram, or surgery, or are visiting a patient, everyone age two and older entering most Stoughton Health locations are required to wear a barrier mask provided by Stoughton Health. We will also continue to ask screening questions.
The following locations are no longer requiring universal masking:
• Oregon and Stoughton Rehabilitation & Sports Medicine Clinics
• Community Health & Wellness Center
• Cardiac Rehab patients may unmask once in Cardiac Rehab
• Non-patient care areas and meeting rooms
Please be kind to our greeters who may need to remind you to put a mask on as you enter.
Thank you for your continued patience and for assisting us in protecting those most at risk from COVID-19. We encourage everyone eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine to get one as soon as possible.

DHS Offers COVID-19 Treatment Telehealth Service Statewide
Wisconsinites are able to use free consultation and prescription services to increase access to COVID-19 treatments. These treatments have been proven to greatly reduce chances of COVID-19 hospitalization and death.
Program Background: Wisconsin’s COVID-19 Treatment Telehealth Service aims to provide free, easy access for Wisconsinites to health care consultation, screening, and prescriptions for COVID-19 oral antiviral treatments. Wisconsin residents ages 18 and older who test positive for COVID-19 will be able to use the service to receive a video or telephone consultation with a health care clinician. The clinician will evaluate individuals’ health status and eligibility for an oral antiviral pill that reduces the risk for severe symptoms and hospitalization from COVID-19. The clinician will be able to issue a prescription for the treatments that can be filled at any of the 700+ pharmacies throughout the state that carry the medications. If a resident doesn’t have access to one of these pharmacies, the service will ship the medicine to their residence overnight.
Eligibility: Wisconsin residents ages 18 and older regardless of insurance status who test positive for COVID-19, and whose symptom onset is fewer than 5 days earlier. Even if symptoms are mild, residents over 18 should seek treatment.
Access: The service will be available in a wide variety of languages. Residents who do not have access to the internet or a smart phone can access the service by phone from a landline by dialing 833-273-6330. Consultations are available within 30 minutes every day from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Cost: There is no cost to individuals for use of the service. It will be open to all Wisconsinites eligible for COVID-19 treatments regardless of health insurance status. To learn more about available treatments for COVID-19, visit the DHS website
