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
