Dear South Summit Pediatric Families,
Continued…
As of Monday 3/30/20, we will only be seeing sick patients via Telemedicine and via our Drive-Through service. We will still be providing care inside the clinic for Well Child Care, Medication Checks, Lacerations, Casting, and other non-sick related concerns.
Sick visits will be conducted as following: your provider will contact you via Telemedicine to help you with your concerns. If necessary, your provider may ask you to come in to be seen in our Drive-Through service. The Drive-Through service will be done under our covered entry area. It will be a limited interaction with your physician where they can: check your child's ears, listen to their lungs, and possibly acquire a sample from them for Strep, FLU or RSV.
We feel this change in protocol is necessary to "flatten the curve" of COVID-19 infections in Utah and for the safety of our patients and staff. We hope you are understanding and sympathetic to this inconvenience as we realize it may add burden to your lives.
We will win this fight against COVID-19, but we have to do it together.
You can find more information at https://coronavirus.utah.gov/ or healthychildren.org. There is a temporary information line at 1-844-422-5224.
Healthychildren.org has advice about how to talk with your children about COVID-19 and how to deal with school and childcare closures.
We love you all. Stay safe and healthy.
South Summit Pediatrics
