Coronavirus (COVID-19): What we’re doing to prioritize your health.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

UPDATED as of Monday, March 16, 2020

In keeping with newly implemented local medical center policies,

VPO is making the following changes to our preparedness planning as originally stated below.

• We are asking that in addition to our current action plan that patients attend their scheduled appointments solo or with only one additional visitor.

• Our staff is also taking additional individual personal protective measures to reduce personal exposure.

• We again ask that all patients and visitors be in good health prior to attending scheduled appointments.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.

During this evolving situation, at this time there are no known cases of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) at any VPO offices. The health and safety of our patients and staff is always our top priority.  We are diligently monitoring updates to the Coronavirus.

We understand how important it is to continue your prosthetic and orthotic care without interruption. Below are the steps we are taking to maintain a safe and healthy environment so you can continue your care with VPO: 

• We ask that you continue your daily activities with the same healthy habits that prevent the spread of the cold and flu. Wash your hands frequently, cover your sneezes, maintain social distances, and stay home if you have any flu like symptoms.

• VPO staff are working to ensure everyone is following consistent protocols for proper hand-washing as well as sanitizing and disinfecting equipment, treatment tables, waiting areas, bathrooms, doorknobs and other general areas.

• We ask that you please allow our administrative staff to reschedule your appointment if you are experiencing any of the following:
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath
  • Fever
  • Chills
  • Sneezing with nasal discharge
  • Other cold or flu-like symptoms

• VPO will waive all cancellation and missed appointment fees as we continue to monitor this situation.
