COVID-19 UPDATE
March 19, 2020
Northeast OB/GYN Associates is dedicated to ensuring the safety of our patients, staff and physicians. These unprecedented times demand for front line staff and physicians to be adaptable to an ever changing environment based on constant new information regarding COVID-19 from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). We have and will continue to be in constant communication with the San Antonio Metro Health Department and infectious disease physicians to ensure we are proceeding appropriately.
We have had a physician test positive within the last 24 hours for COVID-19 related to recent travel. We have traced her patient contact and have already reached out to those who may have been affected. Our Physician is isolated at home and doing well. All physicians/staff who had been in contact with this physician have been self-quarantining at home. At this time, we are working as quickly as possible to keep our patients, staff and physicians informed about the situation and about what they need to do as information arises. We are dedicated to taking care of our people during these tough times.
We are working diligently to balance our duty to provide care for our patients as well as protecting our patients, staff and physicians from COVID-19. We are rescheduling all non-emergent appointments, encouraging patients to stay home and have minimized people in our offices. We are working on rolling out more advanced communication by telephone and online so that we can continue to address your healthcare needs.
We understand these are challenging times, and as a leader in women’s healthcare we are adapting to the minute by minute changes as quickly as we can. We would like to take a moment to THANK our amazing team of physicians and our highly-valued staff for continuing to serve and providing outstanding care. Thank you to our amazing patients. We know that this is a stressful time. Please know that the entire worldwide community of healthcare providers are doing our best to navigate this crisis.
Sincerely,
The Physicians and Staff at Northeast OB/GYN Associates
