Dear Peninsula Podiatry Patients,
Your overall health and wellness has always been our highest priority. With the concern regarding Coronavirus, we remain confident in our ability to provide Podiatry services in a safe and healthy environment.
We are implementing the following additional precautions and recommendations to our patients, their caregivers, and our staff:
1. We request that any patient or caregiver that plans to visit our clinic refrain from doing so if you are experiencing any cold or flu symptoms. Use your best judgement. If you are sick, we will help you reschedule. If you are uncertain, please call our office prior to your appointment. For the safety of the community, people experiencing symptoms should remain at home.
2. We have standard protocols in place to disinfect all surfaces and patient contact areas. We sterilize or safely dispose of all instruments and products used during patient care. We utilize personal protective equipment, like masks and gloves, to keep you and our team members safe.
3. We are following procedures for proper hand hygiene.
4. We have expanded and increased the frequency of cleaning and disinfection of all common areas at our clinic.
5. We have temporarily removed all items that pose a risk for cross-contamination, like magazines, books, and brochures, from common areas.
6. We support a healthy work environment for our employees and have requested our team members stay home if they are experiencing any cold or flu symptoms.
We are closely monitoring updates from the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization. With new information, we will make the necessary adjustments to our operations and will keep you informed of any changes.
Thank you for your confidence in the care you receive here at Peninsula Podiatry. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call us. We are in this together and we are here to help!
