Masking and PPE

New Vision Providers and Staff will continue to wear masks and strongly encourage all patients to do so as well. Patients experiencing symptoms such as a cough, fever, congestion, runny nose and/or sore throat are required to wear masks. We ask that patients continue to do the self-screener posted in the office and notify staff so appropriate PPE and infection control protocols are implemented.
