OSA Patients,
Due to the concerns related to the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), we want to reassure you that Orthopaedic Surgery Associates, Inc. (“OSA”) is committed to keeping our patients, community, and team safe.
Cleanliness and infection control is, and has always been, of the utmost importance to OSA. Our front waiting area, counters, and restrooms are wiped down frequently throughout the day with medical-grade sanitizer wipes and antibacterial agents. All patient registration electronics (iPads & etc.) are sprayed and sanitized after each use. Hand sanitizer is also available throughout our office.
Our medical team always practices universal precautions, which include cleaning hands between each and every patient and using sterilized instruments for every patient. Additionally, OSA staff is washing their hands with soap and water frequently (at least 20 seconds with friction) as often as reasonable during the day.
To help us with our efforts, we ask that if you have a fever or are feeling ill, please reschedule your appointment. If you have traveled internationally or have been in the vicinity of someone who has tested positive for the coronavirus within the last few weeks, please reschedule your appointment.
The Center for Disease Control (“CDC”) issued the following measures to minimize your risk:
The best prevention consists of washing your hands with soap and water frequently (at least 20 seconds with friction) as often as reasonable during the day, particularly before meals and after using public transportation and other facilities. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizers when out in public areas.
Avoid touching your nose, mouth, and eyes.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. If no tissue is available, sneeze into your elbow.
