While we are all more than ready to get some normalcy back in our lives with lifted pandemic restrictions, running a healthcare facility requires special considerations. With the health and welfare of all of my clients in mind (some of whom are immunocompromised or otherwise at high risk) and in taking a lead from other healthcare facilities in Pennsylvania, the following protocols will be in place until further notice. All clients should familiarize themselves with the following guidelines before scheduling an appointment.
- PLEASE DO NOT COME TO YOUR APPOINTMENT IF YOU ARE FEELING SICK OR UNWELL, even if you displayed a negative covid test. If you are experiencing symptoms associated with Covid 19, the common cold, flu, or another respiratory or viral infection, please schedule for another time and cancel your appointment.
- IF YOU HAVE TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID 19, reschedule for when you are fully recovered or produce two negative test results 48 hrs apart. This is especially important because of the proximity and time spent administering acupuncture, and to help protect vulnerable high-risk clients that frequent the clinic. If you had recent close contact with someone with Covid 19 and are currently asymptomatic, it is best to reschedule further out, or after a negative test result 5 days after exposure.
- MASKS ARE STILL REQUIRED AT THE CLINIC AT ALL TIMES AND MUST COVER BOTH YOUR NOSE AND MOUTH COMPLETELY. PLEASE WEAR AN N95 OR KN95 MASK IF POSSIBLE. Due to the high transmissibility of the virus, non-medical grade cloth or other masks are no longer acceptable, and a surgical style or KN95 mask can be provided to you if needed.
- PLEASE COME TO YOUR APPOINTMENT ALONE. Until further notice, spouses, friends, children, etc. are discouraged from accompanying clients to the office and waiting in the reception area (caregivers and guardian’s/parents will be exempt).
- ALL START-UP PAPERWORK MUST BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO YOUR ARRIVAL.
- PLEASE ARRIVE AS CLOSE TO YOUR SCHEDULED TIME AS POSSIBLE. To help maintain patient privacy and a noise free atmosphere, please do not arrive excessively early. If you are more than a few minutes early, there is seating available in the downstairs hallway.
- CASH, CHECK, & CREDIT CARDS ARE EQUALLY ACCEPTED, as well as most HSA cards.
- Please contact me if you have any questions with these policies, thank you!
