How we’ll be keeping you informed this summer

To You, Our Valued Patients:

It’s been a long road, but we’re in a new phase. Like you, we’re getting back to our routines. And we’ve been encouraged to hear that many of our patients feel more comfortable coming in for care.

During this phase, we will send updates to you every other week, instead of weekly. At the same time, we continue to closely monitor the situation. And we’re as committed as ever to keeping you safe and informed, rest assured.
