We have initiated a COVID-19 response plan that includes:

When we are ready for them, we will provide them with the COVID-19 consent form and screening tool to complete (see attached Patient and Staff Consent Profile COVID19 2020-11- 20). If any symptoms are identified during the screening procedure, we will require the client to cancel the appointment that day, and rebook when the client is better.
