COVID-19 and how to access our services

Dear Patients,
You're receiving this email as our system has identified you as having a visit in our office within the last 3 years. If you are no
longer our patient, or desire to not receive these communications, please select "Unsubscribe" at the bottom of this message.
Thank you!

Open for Telemedicine / In-office / Walk-ins
Dear Patients,
We hope you and your family are well during this difficult time. In an effort to do our part to
help ease the strain on the larger hospital systems, we have made the decision to keep
our doors open during the COVID-19 crisis. We are taking the utmost steps to protect our
community and staff from the spread of the COVID-19 and remain prepared to evaluate
and treat our patients.
Chronic / non-respiratory Conditions
We understand that while COVID-19 is the dominant health concern, other medical
problems will still occur per usual. As such, please note that we continue to welcome inperson and telemedicine visits for standard, non-respiratory medical conditions, including:





















ADD/ ADHD
abdominal pain
anxiety
behavioral health
chest pain
depression
diabetes
ear infections
gastritis

hypertension
medication refills
rash
sinusitis
skin infections
skin lacerations
sprains / strains / fractures
strep throat
urinary infections

Some visit reasons are more appropriate for a primary care appointment rather than an
immediate care visit. Please inquire further when you schedule your visit.

If you require an in-personal evaluation we are asking that only 1 person accompany you
to your appointment. If you are able to safely come alone, please do so.
Respiratory Illness / Possible COVID-19
Due to reduced availability of personal protective equipment (masks, gowns, etc) we need
to request that initial evaluations of flu-like, respiratory infections (including possible
COVID-19) be via telemedicine only. Based on the initial evaluation, further testing can be
arranged if appropriate.
Further information regarding COVID-19 can be found on the CDC Website.
Controlled Medications
Due to the public health emergency, the DEA has released guidance that now allows for
the renewal of controlled substances via Telemedicine visits for patients who are stable on
their current regimen. A primary care appointment is best suited for these refills.
Evening Appointments
For your convenience, we are now offering some evening / night primary care
appointments on select days.
Thank you for letting us partner with you as we focus on keeping our commitment to serve
our community.
Sincerely,

Primary Care Appointment

Dear Patients,
COVID-19 Testing Update
We are now seeing improved turnaround time for COVID-19 test swabs, as the
commercial laboratories are working through their backlog. Consistent with CDC
recommendations, we can now consider testing for any patient in Chicago with possible
COVID symptoms.
If you have possible COVID symptoms -- such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath -and desire an evaluation for testing, please schedule a telemedicine visit with one of our
Primary Care or Immediate Care providers. Swab collection procedures can be reviewed
during that consultation.
Evening Appointments
For your convenience, we are now offering some evening / night primary care

Now scheduling Drive-Up COVID-19 Testing
Open for Telemedicine / In-office / Walk-ins
Dear Patients,
Drive-Up COVID-19 Testing
This week we are beginning Drive-Up COVID testing, by appointment. Patients who have
had a COVID test ordered during a telemedicine visit with one of our providers, and who
have access to a vehicle, can now schedule for Drive-Up testing. We hope this will
improve access to tests and reduce exposure risk for our patients, community and staff.
For patients who cannot complete Drive-Up testing, we will continue to offer in-office
testing, by appointment.
COVID-19 Testing - Faster results
With few exceptions, we continue to see improved turnaround time for COVID test swabs.
Most results are finalized in less than 48 hours and often results are next business-day.
Consistent with CDC recommendations, we can now consider testing for any patient in
Chicago with possible COVID symptoms.
If you have possible COVID symptoms -- such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath -and desire an evaluation for testing, please schedule a telemedicine visit with one of our
Primary Care or Immediate Care providers. Swab collection procedures can be reviewed
during that consultation.
Evening Appointments
For your convenience, we are now offering some evening / night primary care
appointments on select days.
