GREEN LIGHT
From my association “The Ministry of Health today announced that, after approximately 2 1/2 months in which health professionals were limited to providing urgent/emergency and telehealth services only to patients, it has amended Directive #2 to allow for "all deferred and non-essential and elective services carried out by Health Care Providers" to be gradually restarted, subject to a number of requirements contained in the amended Directive.
In other words, Ontario chiropractors can, under certain conditions, start the process of getting back to our work and our driving passion - providing the highest quality care for all our patients!”
Dr. Mike and I are separating the week. Dr. Mike will be doing Monday, Wednesday and Friday from the Scarborough office. Initially opening all day Wednesday and Friday mornings. Dr. Bob will be open Tuesday all day and Thursday morning at the Scarborough office and all day Wednesday in Keswick. This will be our ‘new normal’ and adding more hours as restrictions are lifted.
I need everyone to review the RETURNING TO TREATMENT-A PATIENT GUIDE on the link. We all have to do our own part to keep each other safe and healthy. (Sorry you will have to cut and paste.) PLEASE READ
