Special Considerations During Covid-19 Pandemic For Patients

Due to COVID-19, there are a few changes around the department in order to keep your family and our staff and students as safe as possible.

• Only 1 parent/guardian should accompany each patient, and siblings should be left at home to minimize the number of people in the department.
• We ask that parents wear a mask or face covering while in the office.
• Our doctors will be wearing some additional personal protective equipment.
