COVID-19
In this difficult time of COVID-19 pandemic, we would like to reaffirm our commitment to the health and well-being of all of our patients as well as protection of all members of our community. While we remain open, we are constantly updating and modifying our policies while following AAP, CDC, and SNHD guidelines in an effort to keep you, as well as all members of the Children's Lung Specialists team healthy and safe. We ask if you are or have experienced any of the following symptoms in the last two weeks or have been exposed to anyone with these symptoms to kindly reschedule or request Telehealth. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus :
Fever or chills;
Cough;
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing;
Fatigue;
Muscle or body aches;
Headache;
New loss of taste or smell;
Sore throat;
Congestion or runny nose;
Nausea or vomiting;
Diarrhea.
Temperature screening of all persons accompanying the patient will be done at our front desk. We have implemented Telehealth video visits for many concerns that can be safely managed without seeing a provider in person. We continue to encourage social distancing to minimize the risk to your children and loved ones to COVID-19 illness.If you are unsure whether or not your child requires an office visit for his/her medical issue, please call our office and speak to a medical staff member.Together, we all have the responsibility to help reduce transmission, and especially to protect the vulnerable population of our community - including the infants, elderly, and those with preexisting medical conditions. We all look forward to the day when our offices are again filled with bright smiles and youthful enthusiasm from everyone.
