Covid-19
If you have symptoms, use the self-assessment tool to determine if you require testing: myhealth.alberta.ca/Journey/COVID-19/Pages/Assessment.aspx
We can all do our part to prevent the spread by staying home as much as possible and maintaining physical distancing if you find it necessary to go out. If you are a returning traveler from out of country, you must stay home. If you need information about precautions and restrictions, please visit: www.alberta.ca/coronavirus-info-for-albertans.aspx for all the facts and updates.
We know, though, that there is more to your health care than COVID-19. The family physicians are open for business and ready to support you for your ongoing or new health questions and concerns. There are lots of ways we can work with you safely and effectively, including virtually if you must quarantine, e.g., as a returning traveler. If you do not need to be in isolation or quarantine and an in-person visit is required, that can be managed, too.
Call our office at 403 248-2273 if you need help or advice, or if a virtual or in-person appointment is needed.
Sanitation
Keeping our clinic clean and sanitized has always been of utmost importance.
Please be assured that this continues to be our priority for the health and safety of our patients and staff.
Reception: Countertops, door handles, telephones, pens, debit machines, and public washroom are regularly disinfected. Magazines and books have been removed from the waiting room area.
Treatment Areas: Our operatory, equipment, chairs, keyboards and countertops will continue to be cleaned and sanitized as mandated by the Alberta College of Physicians and Surgeons (between each patient).
Hand Sanitizers: We have multiple hand-sanitizers available in waiting areas, all treatment rooms and reception.
Keeping Informed: We will continue to carefully monitor the situation and act in accordance with the recommendations of Alberta Health Services. Please refer to the regularly updated Alberta Health Services website: https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/topics/Page16944.aspx
Masking
As per Alberta Health Services policy, we request that any patient displaying any possible viral symptoms (fever, chills, runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, cough, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, nausea or diarrhea, or altered/lost sense of taste or smell) please wear a mask to our clinic. Please bring a mask with you to your appointment. If you forget, a mask can be provided for you. We please request you keep your mask on in the appointment room while waiting for the doctor to prevent any aerosolization. For patients not displaying such symptoms, masking is optional.
