What You Can Expect From Us

As new information becomes available management is keeping staff and patients well informed so they can respond swiftly and appropriately. All of our physicians have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. While the circumstances continue to change and we modify our operations as necessary, we thank you for your patience and cooperation.

As new developments occur, be assured we are committed to taking care of our patients and employees and to our mission of providing exceptional patient care.

We urge everyone to follow the CDC guidelines in protecting yourself and those around you:


How to Protect Yourself When Going Out

  • Wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth to help protect yourself and others. Masks offer some protection to you and may protect those around you if you are unknowingly infected with the virus that causes COVID-19.

    • Choose a mask with two or more layers of washable, breathable fabric that fits snugly against the sides of your face.

  • Stay 6 feet apart and avoid crowds.

    • The more people you are in contact with, the more likely you are to be exposed to COVID-19.

  • Avoid indoor spaces as much as possible, particularly ones that aren’t well ventilated.

    • You may find it harder to stay 6 feet apart in indoor spaces.

  • Wash your hands often.

    • Use soap and water for 20 seconds, especially after you have been in a public place or hand sanitizer if soap and water aren’t available.
