As Covid-19 touches more of our lives, High Country Macula is adjusting our “flu-like illness” patient protocols to be more inline with changes to CDC COVID-19 recommendations. We’ll ask everyone who enters our care centers to wear masks with two or more layers that cover the nose and mouth, and secure under the chin (please bring your own mask), and we’ll enforce social distancing in our waiting rooms. We have eased scheduling restrictions to allow all patients in need to be seen, allowing one family member or guardian to accompany the patient into our care centers, if necessary. The purpose of this update is to protect our patients and staff, ease patient burden, and streamline the evaluation and management for those people with a flu-like illness. We have posted these new procedures to our website at http://hcm.mobiussites.com/we-are-hcm/our-practice/flu-like-illness-protocols
We do hope that all of our patients will be understanding of the extraordinary circumstances we are operating under to bring the most efficacious Retinal care possible to those in need. We wish you and all of our patients the best of health, free of Covid-19.
