CoVid-19 (Coronavirus) updates
Dear Families & Community, here at Integrative Medical Specialists we are working to take precautions to protect all of you, our team, and the rest of our patients and community. The information regarding CoVid-19 is changing daily, as will our management.
Until further notice:
We are requesting that if you are acutely ill with a cough, fever, or respiratory symptoms that you please call the office. Please do not just come in. We are attempting to manage as much as we can over the phone to minimize the potential exposure for our team and other patients.
HOWEVER, if you are experiencing respiratory distress, that is an Emergency and may require that you go to the ER.

HELP REDUCE THE SPREAD OF INFECTION BY FOLLOWING THIS PREVENTATIVE LIST:
- Stay at home and away from others if you are feeling ill.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands.
- Clean and disinfect objects and surfaces, especially frequently touched items such as small electronics, door handles, light switches, and sink handles.
Please be aware that we are taking all necessary precautions. We are committed to providing exceptional care for our patients while we keep our community safe.
