As the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 cases continue to rise in Tippah County, we at Family Clinic of Falkner want to protect our patients and our staff while continuing to provide quality care to each of you. In order to do so, we are asking each of our patients to do the following:
1. Patients 60 years or older, patients with chronic health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, COPD, and patients with cancer or with a compromised immune system (such as with Rheumatoid Arthritis or Lupus, recent surgery, etc) need to avoid coming into the office at this time for a routine visit. If you need a refill on your current routine medications, please call the office at 662-512-0139 and we will gladly take care of this for you over the phone.
2. If you are an established patient and you are having a health issue that is requiring an office visit, we are asking you to call the office when you arrive, 662-512-0139, we will sign you in and take note of your symptoms. We will ask that you wait in your car until time for you to go directly to a room. We may also offer flu and strep testing while you wait in your car.
3. If you are a new patient, you will also need to call 662-512-0139 upon arrival. You will be asked to wait in your car until you can go directly to a room. We will work to get everyone in as quickly as possible. Please be patient with us during this time.
4. We are asking that all patients limit visitors while they are being seen in the office to no more than one person & NO ONE WILL BE WAITING IN THE LOBBY!! This is a very unusual/trying time we are facing and it is very important that we follow the guidelines and limit all exposure to our friends and family so that we can get our lives back to normal as soon as possible.
5. To help limit exposure and stop the spread of the virus and flatten the curve:
a. Wash your hands,
b. Keep your hands to yourself and away from your face and last but not least
c. PRAY for our Nation, our Leaders and each of US as we face the days ahead.
We love our patients and our families! We want to keep all healthy and safe!!
