In accordance with updated CDC guidelines for healthcare organizations, MASKS are again OPTIONAL while in our office.
The virus that causes COVID-19 continues to mutate and spread throughout our community. We are currently under a low risk Covid-19 Community Level based on case rates, new COVID-19 hospital admissions and % of inpatient beds in use by patients with confirmed COVID-19. COVID-19 Community Level is the latest metric being used by the CDC to assess the impact of COVID-19 on communites and to take action.
To help prevent the continued spread of this highly contagious disease, as well as other diseases, if you have an appointment scheduled with us but have any of the following, please contact us to reschedule your appointment:
For the protection of our other patients and due to limited space to allow for appropriate social distancing, we are continuing to request only one adult care partner accompany a patient to her appointment. If your care partner has any of the above symptoms, he/she will not be allowed in to the office. At this time, the wearing of masks is optional in our office.
The CDC website is the best resource to obtain the latest information on the ongoing situation as well as to obtain information on how you may protect yourself and others.
