The federal COVID-19 public health emergency declaration ended on May 11, 2023. At this point, masks in the hospital and medical office are considered optional. Of course, if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms (cough, fever, headache, muscle aches) or any type of upper respiratory illness, please contact the office to reschedule. If you are feeling well enough, your in-person appointment can be converted to one via video conference (telemedicine)
