Patients,
Covid-19 is a serious health concern and we are taking steps to protect our patients, staff and providers. In addition to the routine infection control measures that we take, we are instituting changes to limit potential exposure of patients.
We are taking these steps based on recommendations of health officials and following guidelines from the CDC:
- We are limiting visitors with patients to be the patient only unless the patient is a minor.
- We will start screening patients prior to entering our office. We are asking patients that have signs and or symptoms of Covid-19 to reschedule their appointments. This includes: FEVER, COUGH, DIFFICULTY BREATHNG, AND RESPIRATORY ILLNESS.
- Please seek care for screening at these locations:
- Renown please call 982-5000
- St, Mary’s Please call 770-7664
- State of Nevada COVID-19 Helpline 800-860-0620
- Washoe County Health Department call 775-328-2427
- Please seek care for screening at these locations:
- If you reschedule – we will have a medical team member call you.
We understand that this may pose a burden to find child care for some patients and limiting guests can be disappointing for some. These are extraordinary times and we are hopeful that you have understanding in these measures. If we don’t take measures and it were to become wide spread in our community and or office, we would have to potentially seriously limit our ability to care for our patients.
Thank you for your understanding.
