First, we sincerely hope you, your friends and family are healthy during these potentially stressful times.

At ALVC/ AHRC, our priority is to keep your health in good condition; our team of professionals is committed to doing so. Therefore, we've decided to raise our usual standards of cleanliness and health safety even higher. We want to reassure you that we are closely monitoring the spread of COVID-19, commonly known as Coronavirus. Our staff is taking the necessary precautions to identify possible exposure to respiratory illnesses in the office. As such, ALVC remains open for you to visit.

Below are some of the measures we are taking to keep our office space clean and our community healthy:

• Sanitizing: personnel cleans all public spaces, including treatment rooms, restrooms, and waiting-room through the day.
• Use of medical-grade disinfectant sprays: applied to operator rooms after every patient is seen, per CDC guidelines, including high touch areas such as chairs, counters, and equipment.
• Sterile Instruments: Procedure instruments are sterilized after every patient. CDC protocols are strictly adhered to in assuring proper sterilization of instruments.

We’ve communicated to our staff the need to stay at home if they show symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, and trouble breathing. As our patient, we ask you to do the same.

Please note that the CDC recommends facemasks to protect from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19, and we will be offering them to our patients for use in the office. We encourage you to refer to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a reliable source of information. Visit the CDC website at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/index.html.

If you have additional questions concerning your upcoming appointments, please feel free to contact our office at 806-355-3022.
