We hope all of you are staying well during these unforeseen times. We wanted to provide an update on the COVID 19 virus procedures at Louisville Lifestyle Medicine.
First, WE ARE OPEN. We are a healthcare facility and will remain open through this epidemic. We did send out a notice regarding ill patients and will continue to follow guidelines to triage ill patients by phone initially and then determine if there is a need to visit the office.
Fortunately, for those that have Medicare, this will be a covered option for any office visit (i.e. following up for high blood pressure). If you have Medicare and have an appointment scheduled within the next two months, then call the office and we can covert that appointment to a telehealth visit if you would like.
Second, we are following and exceeding all CDC guidelines with regards to sanitizing equipment, furniture, countertops, door handles, employee protocols, etc. in the building. As many of you have seen, we have a large facility and this allows for all in the building to follow the social distancing guidelines due to our patient schedule.
Third, we do encourage patients to continue following up for their regularly scheduled office visits. This promotes better health for our patients and decreases the risk of adverse effects of COVID 19 in the event someone would be infected.
Fourth, while many of us will NOT be infected by COVID 19, there are some significant health risks that will be associated with the social distancing policies. This includes a lowered immune system, weight gain, limited activity, psychosocial issues, anxieties, depressions, panic attacks, and cardiac issues. If you are experiencing any of these issues, then please call the office so we can help.
Here are some suggested health boosting tips:
