Dear Patient and Family,

Dear Patient and Family,

We at Advantage Care sincerely hope you, your friends and family are well during these stressful times.  While we continue to provide virtual telehealth services, which you can receive from the safety of your own home, we will begin the gradual increase of face-to-face healthcare visits.  As your healthcare provider, we want you to know that Advantage Care remains compliant with local government regulations, NYS Executive Orders, and CDC guidelines.

Be assured that at ALL times Advantage Care has practiced the Universal Precaution Guidelines. We are also taking extra steps, based on CDC recommendations, to ensure your safety while attending visits and receiving quality health care in a safe and healthy environment. The following safety measures are to protect you and those you come in contact with during your visit to Advantage Care:

• Patient and employee screening upon entrance to the health center, including a temperature check.
• Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) worn by our staff.
• Thorough cleaning/disinfecting of equipment after each use.
• Addition of markers on floors, indicating proper social distancing.
• Frequent and routine cleaning/disinfecting of the entire facility.
• Staggered entry to our health center to prevent crowding. (You may be asked to wait outside, or in your vehicle, until your provider is ready for your appointment.)
• To maximize social distancing, we will see fewer patients each day.
• Installation of new protective barriers throughout the health center.
• AM wellness visits.
• PM sick visits to allows for deep cleaning between visits and at end of the day.
• Sneeze guards for reception and checkout area counters/desks.
• Personal use pens, contactless thermometers, alcohol-based hand sanitizers.
