The infection control procedures in place to protect patients and staff include:
- The Family Medical Clinic will maintain separate areas within the clinic to keep sick and well patients apart.
- All patients will be screened and categorized twice: when they make an appointment and when they arrive for their appointment. This will ensure they are directed to the appropriate area of the clinic for their health care need.
- Patients will be required to wear a mask in both areas. Masks will be provided if needed.
- To maintain physical distancing, all patients will be asked to remain in their vehicles when they arrive for their appointment and to call the clinic at 659-2846 to check in and await further instruction.
- The physician serving as the on-call doctor for the emergency department each day will take care of the clinic’s sick patients. All other clinic providers will see well patients only.
