Facts about Ebola

Posted: 8/6/2015

You and your loved ones will be safe at Parkland. We train regularly on how to care for patients and keep others safe should there be situation involving a communicable disease.

Parkland stands ready every day for anything that comes our way. At Parkland, we have trained, practiced and planned so that we are ready to keep the residents of Dallas County healthy.

What’s happening at Parkland?

We have a plan in action. Parkland has had increased Emergency Department screening in place for approximately six weeks. Screening is also taking place at Parkland’s clinics.

Parkland has strict infection prevention protocols in place and staff is following guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If a patient comes to Parkland exhibiting symptoms, the patient will moved to a comfortable but isolated room separate from other patients and staff until cleared.

We have pulled together a skilled group of staff who will be the dedicated patient care team for confirmed patients who will be cared for in an already designated unit. Appropriate lab and clinical protocols are in place to provide effective care and create a safe environment for everyone.

This group of staff and physicians has already received intensive training on the donning and doffing of personal protective equipment that exceeds the CDC recommendations. This Parkland video displays the proper methods to don and take off personal protective equipment (PPE) when screening for Ebola patients.


We are also establishing a mobile response team that will respond should a patient present with Ebola-like symptoms arrive at Parkland.

What do I need to know about the virus?

Take time to educate yourself. Know how the disease is transmitted and the best methods of prevention.

For information about the virus, please take some time to review these info sheets or visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
  • Facts about Ebola (PDF)
  • Información sobre la enfermedad del Ébola (PDF)
  • When is someone able to spread the disease to others? (PDF)
  • ¿Cuándo puede alguie contagiar la enfermedad a otras personas? (PDF)
We will continue to share more information about the virus as it’s available. Please follow us on Twitter and Facebook.

Parkland officials are working with Dallas County Health and Human Services and the CDC on prevention and treatment. Together, our goal is to keep you safe.
