Greetings Edison Disc Center Patients,
These last couple of weeks feel like none other that I have ever experienced in my 34 years as a healthcare provider. We continue to operate with a full staff and will remain open to see patients under normal business hours. We are also monitoring the latest news about COVID-19 and continue to perform our normal procedures to protect our patients that include:
- Prominently place disinfectants throughout our clinic for patients' hands.
- Removing magazines from our waiting areas. Wipe down the waiting room surfaces more frequently than in the past.
We have increased the frequency of disinfecting any other objects that patients or staff members come in contact with including door handles, toilet handles, the handle to our front door, keyboards and mice, touch screens on electronic devices and any buttons on devices such as printers and our water dispenser.
We all came to this work with the desire to help our patients live healthier and happier lives and we view what we do as a craft and profession, not a job.
Our time caring for our patients has a rhythm. This year, the rhythmic cycle of caring for you has been interrupted by the pandemic spread of COVID-19, the latest Coronavirus. We fully support the decisions made by New Jersey.
Yet, I must admit, we are already missing some of our patients. Over the coming weeks, we will be eagerly awaiting the return of our patients who will still need our help getting back to what matters most in their lives.
In the meantime, we will continue to figure out how to support our patients beyond clinical care. Over the next several days, our team will be working together to figure that out.
During this time, we will be communicating with you on a frequent basis to let you know how we can support our patients that are in pain and need our care. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary. Our patients, employees, and community will always remain our first priority.
