We’re facing the COVID-19 challenge head-on
By evolving and adapting with new ways of caring for patients to ensure safety.
We realize that as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, you may feel apprehensive about visiting your doctor’s office. Please rest assured that throughout this public health crisis, the safety of patients and staff has, as always, been our number one priority. Salmon Falls Family Healthcare has remained open and available to all patients throughout the pandemic, implementing all state of NH and CDC recommended safety protocols along the way.
We are fully prepared to care for you and your family. Upon your next visit, these are some of the changes in appointment protocols and safety precautions you will notice:
To supplement our normal office cleaning routine, additional cleaning and disinfecting of lobby, patient exam rooms, and staff workstations and areas are performed frequently throughout each day. Patient exam rooms are cleaned between each visit. Toys and magazines have been removed from the waiting area for the time being. Hand sanitizer dispensers have been placed at each checkout window for easy access and convenience.
Is SFFH open and seeing patients?
Yes, and same-day appointments are usually available.
Do I have to wear a mask for my appointment?
Yes, all patients and staff are asked to wear masks to prevent the spread of illness.
Do you perform COVID-19 testing?
