When you arrive onsite for your scheduled appointment, please pull under the drive-thru at the front door and you will be greeted by staff. If you pass the initial screening, you will then be checked in curbside and will need to provide your cell phone number to complete the check-in process. You will then park your vehicle and wait there, and we will call you when a room is available. At this time, only patients will be allowed to enter the building; no other visitors (caregivers excluded). As always, your health is our top priority. Thank you for your additional patience during this temporary workflow change.
