Dear Patients
As you are aware, the United States is experiencing a rapid increase in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases. It is our mission as a medical practice to keep you safe and healthy. To ensure your safety, we have instituted heightened cleaning measures at New Hope Family Practice. After each patient, all surfaces are wiped down with hospital grade disinfectant. This includes all chairs, countertops, hand rails, door k***s, pens etc.
We are asking all patients that have been exposed to COVID-19, either as a confirmed case or assumed case, stay home and self quarantine. If you have returned recently from hot spots such as South Korea, Iran, and EU nations please let us know and we will reschedule your appointment in 14 days.
If you have the following symptoms, please call to see if we have appointments available and self quarantine:
Elevated body temperature 99.9 F or higher
Body aches
Cough
Diarrhea
Runny nose
Sore throat
Shortness of breath
We are all in unchartered territory. With your help, we can limit the spread as much and as early as possible.
Thank you,
Dr Brooks and Dr Fernandez.
