We know that the corona virus and other germs can live on surfaces people touch. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve added extra surface cleanings, disinfection and safety protocols at all of our locations, in addition to our regular rigorous cleaning standards. This includes doors, lobbies, restrooms, waiting rooms, appointment rooms, furniture, vents, equipment and many more public and private spaces at every facility.<\/p>\n
All our team members are doing their part to keep our clinics, specialty centers and hospital sanitized. Our care sites are well stocked with disinfectants and other cleaning supplies. We\u2019re going above and beyond to make sure every surface, seat, high-touch and high-traffic area is hygienic and ready for you when you come to visit us.<\/p>\n
To keep you safe, we\u2019ve modified our waiting rooms and lobbies so patients can stay at least six feet (about two arm lengths) apart. This helps keep everyone safer and healthier. When you check in for your appointment \u2013 or if there\u2019s a short wait \u2013 new layouts and helpful signage make it easy to know where to go and when. In addition, we\u2019ve begun electronic check-in at some locations to reduce the amount of time spent in public areas.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re also\u00a0limiting visitors\u00a0in our locations to reduce the number of people in our waiting rooms and lobbies. By having less people in our facilities, there\u2019s less chance for viruses and other germs to circulate. That makes it easier for us to care for those who need it.<\/p>\n
Keeping people with COVID-19 quarantined helps minimize the spread of the illness. To help ensure that no one showing signs of COVID-19 arrives unexpectedly, we\u2019ve set up wellness screenings at the entrances of all our care locations.<\/p>\n
Both patients and staff members are screened for COVID-19 symptoms when they arrive. If we notice any symptoms, we isolate the person and help them get the right care with standardized precautions and procedures.<\/p>\n
The CDC and our infectious disease experts recommend wearing masks or\u00a0cloth face coverings\u00a0to help limit the spread of the corona virus. All our team members wear masks across all our care facilities.<\/p>\n
For your added safety and protection, we also ask that our patients and visitors wear masks or face coverings. If a patient or visitor arrives without a mask or face covering, we\u2019ll provide a disposable one to wear during their visit.<\/p>\n
While we\u2019re taking every precaution to help keep our patients and team members safe, we can\u2019t do it without your assistance. Here are a few, simple things you can do to stop the spread:<\/p>\n
If you need to go somewhere crowded, like a store, wear a face covering. Also wear a face covering if you visit one of our clinics, specialty centers or hospitals. If you don\u2019t have a mask or face covering, we\u2019ll provide you with one when you see us.<\/p>\n
Staying at least six feet away can help keep you and other people safe and healthy. When you come in for an appointment, we\u2019ll observe social distancing guidelines .<\/p>\n
Think of everything you touch during the day. You probably touch door handles, pens, railings and many other things you might not even notice. Wash your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds before and after you visit the clinic, as well as frequently throughout the day. Hand sanitizer stations are also available for our patients throughout our lobbies and care facilities.<\/p>\n
We believe one of the most common ways the coronavirus gets into the body is through hand-to-face contact. When at the clinic or out in public, try to avoid touching your face as much as you can to limit the virus\u2019s spread. We know it\u2019s not easy, but combined with frequent handwashing, it\u2019s one of the most powerful things you can do to help stop the coronavirus in its tracks.<\/p>\n
Your health is essential. If something\u2019s bothering you \u2013 or you have a chronic condition that you manage regularly \u2013 it\u2019s important to get the right diagnosis or treatment so you can feel your best. Putting off health care may complicate your condition or make your recovery more difficult.<\/p>\n
When it\u2019s time to schedule (or reschedule) an appointment,\u00a0call us.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s definitely an unusual time. But medical and dental clinics, specialty centers, and hospitals are still safe places to visit, and we\u2019re as dedicated to your personal health as we are to preventing COVID-19 from spreading further.\u00a0Don\u2019t delay time-sensitive care\u00a0because of COVID-19 concerns \u2013 we\u2019re here to help you with all your health care needs and find the right treatment options for you.<\/p>\n
