What precautions is VitalMed Urgent Care taking?
In an effort to protect our patients and health care personnel, we ask that you carefully review the steps below.
- The Lobby is now open. However, sick patients are asked to wait in their vehicle or the comfort of their home until they are next to be seen. A text message will automatically be sent with your estimated time of visit.
- Upon entering patients are required to wear mask and we have hand sanitizer available in our clinics for use upon entering.
- Waiting area is limited to well patients at a given time.
- Our office visits will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients.
- Only the patient being evaluated will be allowed in the exam room. All minors should be accompanied by only 1 adult.
- Exam rooms have been designated either for well or sick visits.
- Our common areas and waiting rooms will be cleaned and disinfected regularly throughout the day.
- We ask for patience during this time as our wait times may be longer than usual as we have instituted additional processes and safety guidelines to care for the safety of our community as well as to protect our health care team.
