COVID-19 : GENERAL CARE RECOMMENDATIONS

As our community navigates the ongoing pandemic and the emergence of the latest variant ("Omicron") of the Corona virus, rest assured that WRIM is here to safely serve you and your family.

If you are unsure about what types of healthcare you can or should access during this time, please remember:

  • Do not delay seeking emergency care. Chest pain, strokes and other serious conditions should never be ignored. Call 911 if you or a loved one is experiencing a medical emergency.​

  • If you have a new symptom or health concern which is not an emergency, we can evaluate your condition in our adjacent free-standing exam unit – which allows us to see acutely ill patients on our premises while avoiding their direct interaction with the well patients in our main clinic area.

  • We are currently offering PCR-based testing for the COVID-19 virus to identify cases of active infection.

  • We are not currently recommending testing for antibodies against the COVID-19 virus to identify cases of prior infection or evaluate the response to vaccination.

  • Due to the shortcomings of antibody testing, it is currently not possible to “clear” a patient to return to work,  to “approve” a patient for unrestricted social engagement, or to specify a patient as “immune” from COVID-19.

  • Continue getting treatment for chronic conditions on your regular schedule. If you have a chronic condition such as diabetes, COPD, or high blood pressure, it is important to continue following your care plan and stay in touch with your provider.

  • Take advantage of new virtual care offerings. Many non-urgent conditions can be treated safely and easily with telemed video visits.  Call us for information.

  • Schedule in-person appointments by calling our office for triage and scheduling.

 

 

COVID-19 : OFFICE VISITOR POLICY

Current public health orders require that we limit the number of people in our building at any given time in order to maintain appropriate distancing, limit exposures, and maximize safety.

 

Therefore, until further notice, patients should not bring visitors, family members, or companions with them to their appointments unless the presence of those individuals is "medically necessary" - to provide or receive clinical information, to assure the safety of patients with cognitive impairment, or to assist with the mobility of patients with physical challenges or limitations.

In addition to meeting the above parameters, visitors themselves must be vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to accompany a patient to an appointment.

If you have questions about this policy, please speak with our office staff prior to arriving for your appointment.

COVID VACCINE: TAKE-HOME MESSAGES

* We will continue to post verified new information here as soon as it is available.

* Please check back frequently for updates.

* Until vaccines are truly widely administered, the virus will continue to spread in the community and new variants are likely to emerge - so it is VERY important that you continue to protect yourself and others as best you can: get vaccinated and seek additional doses as recommendedwear a mask; practice social distancing; wash your hands frequently and try not to touch your face; avoid unnecessary travel; do not congregate inside among strangers; and follow all public health directives to the best of your ability.

* Stay safe, stay informed, stay vigilant.
