Our practice already follows stringent health and safety requirements including frequent sanitizing of our office and infection control procedures known as Universal Precautions. We have additionally taken steps to increase the frequency of deep cleaning and infection control.
We implemented Immunocompromised Protocol in July 2019. In March, we implemented CDC-recommended client and visitor screening questions and we are not allowing client sessions with any symptoms of illness to come into our practice. We will ensure that clients will have options in order to stay connected.
Additionally, all clients and visitors will have access to hand hygiene upon entrance into our lobby and studios.
You are an essential part of our practice. However, we ask that you, family or friends refrain from in-person visits if you or they are currently or have recently been ill or if they have had close contact with a potentially contagious person.
IF YOU RESPOND YES TO A QUESTION BELOW, PLEASE RESCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT.
