4. When an exam room is available our team will contact you, a hospital team member will meet you at the front door of the hospital and show your directly into an exam room, at this time our waiting room will be closed.

5. Each exam room will be equipped with social distancing markers indicating where clients should sit during the visit, additionally hand sanitizer will be available for your use.
