Safety Precautions for Patients and Staff
At Advanced Specialty Care we have both been monitoring recommendations and proactively implementing protective measures for our patients and our staff. Below is an outline of measures we have deployed for your safety:
- Masks / face coverings are no longer required unless you are exhibiting symptoms including: nasal/sinus congestion, headache, cough, fever, sore throat, or shortness of breath. Face masks with an external valve are not permitted unless they are covered with a second non-valved face covering or mask.
- All exam rooms are cleaned thoroughly between patient visits with appropriate disinfectants as well as all the hard surfaces in our waiting room regularly.
- All equipment used in patient care is carefully discarded or properly sterilized between uses.
- Any employees who show any signs of respiratory illness and/or fever have been sent home with their return predicated on negative Coronavirus 19 testing confirmed.
We continue to do all that we can to care for our patients and, perhaps more importantly, do our part in serving the needs of our local healthcare community. Anything we can do to relieve some of the burden on primary care offices as well as the hospital and emergency room helps everyone.
We appreciate your cooperation.
