Dear OPSC Patients,

We’ve made the decision to suspend all in-person services at the Clinic for at least the next two weeks to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and follow the guidance of government and public health officials.

This is obviously a fluid situation, so we’ll be monitoring and adjusting our plans and timeline accordingly.

In the meantime, we are able to offer the following services virtually:

-Physical Therapy
-Strength and Conditioning

For more information about these virtual services, please contact Lee at Lee@onpointsportscare.com

The health and safety of our patients is our top priority.

Lastly, we ask you to remember those who will be the most vulnerable during an outbreak. We encourage you to check in with your extended community to see how you can be of service to individuals who may be at risk. Living with a chronic health condition can be quite isolating in these situations. Reach out, share some love and support.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Click HERE for information and guidance from the CDC.

Wishing you and your family health,

OPSC

To Our Patients:

Your health and safety are top priority for us, and with the growing concerns of Coronavirus, know that we are committed to doing our part to keep ourselves and our patients healthy.

We are keeping a close eye on official information including guidance published by the CDC and the WHO.

Currently, we disinfect our space and our equipment/furniture with medical-grade cleaning solutions every day. In addition to that, we are taking proactive, preventative measures to protect against exposure to the virus. Here are some examples listed below:

• Instilling increased sanitation and hygiene procedures which includes washing and disinfecting hands before and after each patient.
• Adding sanitizing supplies to many areas of our wellness centers including the front desk, waiting area, door k***s, treatment rooms.

We want every patient to feel safe coming to our clinic BUT we want you to do your part also. Please call us if you are not feeling well as we want our patients to stay home if they are feeling sick. Please be mindful of our cancellation policy as we will be taking each call on a case by case basis. We are a small business thats main concern is the health and wellbeing of our patients.

Please feel free to contact us at anytime with any questions or concerns.
