MSMC has implemented the following measures to ensure you and everyone has safe and healthy access to our services:
- Prior to every visit, we will ask you screening questions, to ensure at-risk patients reschedule their appointments to avoid community spread.
- Upon entry to our office, you will be asked to disinfect your hands with hand sanitizer and your temperature will be taken.
- We are scheduling patients in a way to limit the time and number of people in our waiting rooms.
- We have removed excess chairs from our waiting room so decrease exposure to surfaces, assist with management of cleaning and sanitizing, and to encourage appropriate social distancing.
- We are asking individuals who are escorting patients to wait in their cars to avoid crowding in the office.
- We will immediately take patients to treatment rooms if rooms are available.
- We have eliminated coffee service and magazines from our waiting areas as well as cups for water in order to reduce the chance for community transmission.
- We are screening our employees on a daily basis and following CDC guidelines.
- Lastly, as a medical facility we have always had a policy of sanitizing all surfaces in each room after each patient encounter but during this time we have now increased our vigilance and frequency of disinfecting.
