COVID-19 Care

Caring for yourself and your community

Don't skip primary care

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our daily decisions including whether we feel safe going to hospitals, clinics and doctors’ offices. However, it is important to prioritize your overall health. Don’t wait to have your annual physical or seek medical care if you have new or worsening symptoms.  

Contact your primary care physician to keep appointments on track, prescriptions current, and discuss symptoms. Office staff can share how they are continuing to provide care and outline the safety protocols they have in place. Telehealth services are also a good option to explore.
