How Medcessity is Protecting Patients & Staff.
Novel human coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is of concern to all of us.
We are open to care for our patients and taking tangible steps to help prevent the spread of disease and protect our patients and staff.
The single biggest factor for successful physical therapy is to complete the treatment. Medcessity remains open to serve our patients.
CLEANING & DISINFECTION IN OUR CLINIC
We have always practiced good cleaning and disinfecting protocols and have increased the frequency and depth of those efforts. Rest assured that we are paying extra attention to items that are frequently touched.
PRACTICE PROPER HAND & WRIST HYGIENE
We have mandated vigilant hand washing. Wash your hands – and your wrists often. Staff regularly wash their hands between patients, but we are placing extra emphasis on this. We ask patients to wash their hands, or use hand sanitizer, before and after treatment.
COVER YOUR COUGHS & SNEEZES WITH A TISSUE
Please cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. If no tissue is handy, sneeze or cough into a bent elbow. Wear a mask if you are coughing or sneezing regularly.
AVOID TOUCHING YOUR EYES, NOSE OR MOUTH
People frequently touch their eyes, nose or mouth without even realizing it. Try and eliminate this behavior, particularly after touching objects or being around someone who is coughing or sneezing.
STAY AT HOME IF YOU ARE SICK
A key point is keeping people who are ill away from other people. Therefore, we have instructed any staff feeling ill to remain at home. We ask the same of any patients feeling ill, or develop of fever of 100.4 ºF ( 38 ºC) or higher.
Our Back to School Contest/Drawing is about to close at the end of the month.

Coming Soon…
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has strengthened an existing label warning that nonaspirin nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may increase the risk for heart attack or stroke, according to an agency alert sent today…
Heart attack or stroke risk can increase as early as the first weeks of NSAID use, and the risk may increase with longer NSAID use. The risk appears to be greater at higher doses.
Coming Soon… We are joining the blogosphere! Looking forward to sharing valuable tips for:
