Covid-19 Response Update
To our valued patients:
Fox Valley Pulmonary Medicine has made some changes in our way of caring for your Respiratory and Sleep needs during this Covid-19 outbreak. We appreciate your patience with these changes and please know that we value your health and the health of our communities. While not comprehensive, these are a few of the changes you may experience:
Essential in-person visits will continue. Standard infection screening at the entrances are mandatory.
Each patient may have one visitor with him/her at their visit.
Office phone calls are still being performed but please be patient since the volumes are higher given the circumstances.
Please be aware that we are not able to perform Covid-19 testing. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has sent out guidelines on who should be tested and how. Primary Care offices and Urgent Care Centers take the lead on this. They should be contacted first if any of the following are present:
Fever, cough, sore throat, muscle or body aches, headaches, fatigue (tiredness), shortness of breath, lost of taste or smell, runny nose, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea within the past 48 hours.
Exposed to anyone exhibiting any of these symptoms within the past 48 hours.
Had contact with someone known to have coronavirus or actively being tested for coronavirus within the last 14 days.
We continue to adjust to this pandemic as you all do. Your health remains our top priority and hope these disruptions are temporary. Thank you for your support.
