How have we changed our practice? 

In light of the ever-changing environment that COVID-19 has created, the Haldimand Family Health Team has taken steps to follow recommendations made by health officials and the government of Canada. To promote physical distancing and self-isolation, we have implemented the following changes: 

​

  • tele-appointments/virtual visits are being offered prior to in-person visits

  • minimizing numbers in the waiting room and spreading out seating area

  • separation between in-clinic appointments

  • only essential visitors are allowed in with patients (i.e. children, translators, support workers, those aiding the physically disabled, etc)

  • plexiglass barriers

  • use of PPE

  • COVID-19 screening done on all individuals entering the clinic

​

The following visits will continue to be offered in person:

​

  • prenatal visits

  • new baby checks

  • abnormal pap follow-up

  • school physicals

  • all childhood immunizations

  • TB skin testing

  • Prolia injections

  • adult immunizations (if you are due for a booster)

  • birth control injections

  • hormonal and psychiatric injections
