We know there are many situations where caregivers and family are helpful during an outpatient visit. However, at this time we have to limit the number of people in our exam rooms and waiting areas to support social distancing and foster a healthier, safer environment.
Below are our current policies for caregiver(s) accompanying patients in our clinics:
- One healthy caregiver if the patient is a child;
- One healthy caregiver if they are involved with medical decision making;
- One healthy caregiver if the patient needs assistance with mobility;
- Other exceptions only if approved in advance by the provider.
