Note to Our Higher Risk Patients
As the virus continues to spread, we want to protect & safeguard our most vulnerable
patients – our seniors, people with serious chronic medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, lung disease
This includes patients with cancer, organ transplant, immune deficiency, and those on some medications that suppress their immune system. Elderly and higher risk patients should consider changing any routine, non-urgent visits to a later date.
