To our patients:

We will be open during regular office hours to take care of your health care needs.  If you are sick, please give us a call or message us through the patient portal.  We want to keep our patients well and minimize exposure to potential infections.  Please do not walk in to be seen for an illness.  Call ahead and we will take care of you.  If the line is busy, please leave a message and we will call you back.  We will be implementing some additional services to reduce patient exposure and to facilitate care for our patients.

Thanks,

Lynn

There is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID‑19. The best way to prevent infection is to take steps to avoid exposure to this virus, which are similar to the steps you take to avoid the flu. 

• Wash your hands: Wash hands often for 20 seconds and encourage others to do the same.
• Use hand sanitizer as a backup: If no soap and water are available, use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
• Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze: Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, then throw the tissue away.
• Avoid touching your face: Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Disinfected frequently touched surfaces: Disinfect surfaces, buttons, handles, knobs, and other places touched often.
• Avoid close contact: Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

The CDC also recommends that you start practicing social distancing. Social distancing involves staying away from other people to avoid catching or spreading illness. It’s a fancy term for avoiding crowds and minimizing physical contact. This could mean avoiding concerts or weddings, skipping the handshake, and/or staying at least six feet away from others.
