Unity Health Network utilizes a comprehensive approach to keeping its offices safe and clean, and the COVID-19 Safety Guidelines highlight key actions and policies put into place to reinforce that safety commitment.
Flu Season is a critical time to consider your health and the health of those around you. Discuss getting a flu vaccination with a care provider today.
COVID-19 Safety Guidelines
COMMUNICATION
We utilize pre-visit phone calls, appointment reminder calls, in-office signs and email messaging to help provide detailed information about your visit while limiting interpersonal interaction
SCREENING
All Unity Health Network physicians and staff, patients and visitors are assessed for any current or recent fever, cough, shortness of breath or other flu-like symptoms before admission to our offices. Please refer to the STOP signs regarding symptom screening and scheduled patient arrival.
DISTANCING
All offices have new “stop” signs on entrances with COVID-19 alerts. Remote “waiting” rooms allow patients to stay in personal vehicles until it is time for their appointment. Limited waiting room capacity and installed 6-foot floor markers are in place to ensure proper social distancing. Patients may also call their provider to schedule televists instead of coming into the office should they wish to seek care remotely from home or if unable to come to the office
MASKS AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Masks and any additional appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) are required for all physicians and staff in patient-facing situations. Patients are asked to wear masks when coming for their appointment. Please refer to this guide on how to safely wear and use a mask.
CLEAN ENVIRONMENT
Purell stations and sterilized wipes are available at all check-in and check-out locations and in exam rooms and public areas. Surfaces such as exam tables, counters, chairs, door handles and restroom facilities are regularly cleaned throughout the day. All exam rooms, offices and restrooms are deep cleaned daily
