Due to the recent spike in COVID-19 positive cases in our community, and in keeping with CDC guidelines to limit exposure, we once again must limit entry to all of our buildings to patients with appointments only, with the following exceptions:
- Children 18 years of age or under (parents are permitted).
- Pregnant patients requiring assistance.
- Adult patients with cognitive, physical or mental disability requiring the assistance of another for the provision of medical care, daily living activities, speaking for the patient or keeping the patient safe.
- Person requiring an outpatient test or procedure where a companion is required for support.
- People who exercise power of attorney or court-appointed guardianship for a patient.
- People performing official government functions.
Please call your provider’s office ahead of your appointment for exceptions or arrangements that fall outside of these exceptions. Additionally, we ask anyone with plans to enter our facilities take these steps prior to entry if they are feeling sick. All patients and visitors will be screened upon entry of the building.
And in keeping alignment with CDC recommendations, we require everyone visiting our offices to wear a mask or cloth face covering, except children younger than 2 and anyone who has trouble breathing or cannot remove their mask without assistance.
In addition, we ask that all our patients do their part in helping stop the spread of this illness by practicing good hand hygiene, cough etiquette and by disinfecting surfaces.
