"The country isn't lacking in natural disasters lately, but while things like hurricanes and tropical storms seem to get most of the attention, it's easy to forget that a substantial portion of the west has suffered wildfires. These seem to happen more often than anyone would like, but how does all of that smoke factor into your life? If you're expecting, does breathing in wildfire smoke harm your pregnancy? It's a valid concern."

To our Joya Community,

We hope you, your friends and family are doing well during these potentially stressful times. We know you're being overwhelmed with news about COVID-19, but want to formally outline Joya’s plan of action for the recent outbreak.

Our office continues to operate at our regular hours. However, out of caution we ask that at the time of your appointment you limit the visitors you bring with you. We are taking extra steps to keep the clinic clean and we are also requiring all team members who have any illness symptoms to stay home. At this time we are offering telehealth visits.

We also encourage you to be aware of problematic symptoms including: sneezing, cough and fever and request that you do not come to the office if you are experiencing these. Same day cancellation fees will be waived. Please let us know in advance if you would like to reschedule your upcoming appointment.

IMPORTANT: If you are infected with COVID-19 or think you may have been infected, please contact us in advance before coming in. This way we can instruct you on where to go and how to proceed for the safety of all.

Dr. Pearson, Daphne Buttercup and their team want to thank you for the trust you have placed in our office. We strive each day to provide the very best care to our patients. We will continue to evaluate the systems we have in place to ensure we help keep everyone healthy and safe.

Sincerely,

Joya Women’s Healthcare
