Family Healthcare

Flu and cold season is here and can last as late as May of next year. In addition, we are still dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. Please check out the information below and schedule an appointment if you have concerns about your health. Except for emergencies, your family provider is the best person to help you determine what care to seek out.

Healow Contactless Check-In is now available at all family healthcare clinics. Watch the video below to learn how this will add safety and convenience to your next visit!

Colds

Flu

Flu: Symptoms of the flu come on suddenly and can include fever, headache, chills, dry cough, sore throat, body or muscle aches, tiredness, and feeling generally miserable. Like the viruses that cause a cold, flu viruses can cause a stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, and watery eyes. Young children also may experience nausea and vomiting.

Check with your health care provider promptly if you are at high risk for flu-related complications and you have flu symptoms — or if you have flu symptoms that do not improve. People at high risk include:

Children younger than 5 years, but especially those younger than age 2
Pregnant women
People with certain chronic health conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart or lung disease)
People age 65 or older

New loss of taste or smell
Sore throat
Congestion or runny nose

Your Safety Comes First

We’ve taken every precaution to keep patients and our team safe during the COVID-19 health crisis, and we’re committed to continuing to improve and find innovative ways to provide safe, effective care to you for the immediate future and for years to come. We’ve thought through every aspect of your care journey – from how every treatment area is cleaned and sanitized to changes in our waiting rooms to ensure social distancing.

To support staff, patient and community health, all patients will be screened for COVID-19 and asked to wear a mask, which can be provided. When arriving at the physical location of the clinic, anyone entering the facility will go through a short screening. If you are calling for an appointment, either to the office phone number or central scheduling, you will be asked a short series of screening questions.

All McKenzie Health System staff are screened daily and required to wear masks when unable to maintain social distancing and when working with patients. Scheduling of appointments has been changed to best allow for social distancing. This includes grouping appointments for “well” visits in one part of the day and “sick” visits in another part of the day.

Our highly skilled environmental services staff, who themselves are screened for health daily, take pride in providing the most thorough cleaning and sanitizing measures. All surfaces are thoroughly disinfected with medical-grade cleaning agents. From doorknobs to faucets, light switches to equipment controls, each touchpoint is addressed regularly to ensure your safety.
