PREVENTION & MEDICAL CARE TO HELP YOU LIVE BETTER, LONGER.
COVID-19 IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS
Updated 5/18/20
Dear VMG Patients and Families,
Valley Medical Group’s practitioners and staff want you to know, we’re here for you now and in the future. Our two guiding principles are to remain open to care for our patients, and to keep our patients and staff as safe as possible.
Medical visits do look different today than they looked 3 months ago. We are now using video (preferred) and phone visits to provide the majority of our care. Our VMG practitioners are finding that they are able to provide quality care in this way while keeping you safe at home.
Although our care processes may look different now compared with how they looked only a few weeks back, what is not different is that we want to take care of you in the best way possible. At the beginning of the pandemic, we discontinued some services while we looked for ways to keep as safe as possible. As we find new ways to bring services back, we’ll let you know. For example:
1. We are now doing “Curbside Lab Draws,” done in “open air” areas at our health centers, limiting exposure for patients and staff. As you know, lab results are important for many conditions and for diagnosis.
2. We’re also now scheduling Pediatric Wellness Visits, including immunizations. These visits are now part video and part in-person. This allows us to be sure your children are on track for growth and development, to address any concerns you might have, and provide these important immunizations.
Finally, we’ve been hearing about patients delaying care because they are worried about being exposed to COVID illness…at the office, in the ER, at the hospital. We’d like to urge you not to delay. At VMG we’re reducing the risks of transmission as much as possible to allow you to get needed care for conditions you may already have and need following.
Please call the office to schedule a visit and check vmgma.com for more information on services and look for additional newsletters on the 1st and 15th of the month. On behalf of all our staff and practitioners, we wish you the best in this troubling and confusing time.
Stay safe. Stay well. Stay connected.
