Annual preventive care appointments are important to keep, even during a pandemic when care may look different. You can and should keep your regularly scheduled appointments, especially for immunizations, screenings, preventive care and chronic disease management.
Your provider(s) likely have safety measures in place such as mask policies, temperature screening, and socially distanced waiting rooms. They may also have virtual visits available, depending on the type of appointment. Similar to GW Medical Faculty Associates, your provider likely outlines their procedures on their website.
