Measles Screening
Pennsylvania is experiencing a significant measles outbreak, and PDM/PDFP
is implementing screening and response procedures to reduce the risk of
exposure. Patients and accompanying persons will be screened for recent
measles exposure and compatible symptoms at facility entrances.

Patient Instruction
If you answer YES to a recent measles exposure, or if you have fever,
rash, cough, runny nose, or red/watery eyes, please contact the security
desk before entering the lobby or clinic. Do not enter a waiting area
until staff provide instructions.
A positive screen does not establish a measles diagnosis. It triggers
further clinical/public-health assessment and allows us to avoid
unnecessary exposure of other patients and personnel.
