A message from our Pediatric Therapies staff:
We are still here!
During this time of uncertainty, we wanted to let you know that we are still providing services to children for physical, occupational, and speech therapies at Chan Soon-Shiong Medical Center at Windber (CSSMCW). We understand the importance of continuity of care.
We know with the recent concerns of COVID-19 (Coronavirus), there have been precautions and limitations implemented on our community to help prevent the spread of the virus. We, too, are taking extra precautions and measures such as screening our patients upon entrance to the building, cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and equipment after each use, and wearing masks and gloves to protect our patients and their families.
We are also offering follow-up appointments through e-visits using the Zoom platform, so patients can see a therapist from the comfort of their own homes, limiting setbacks. It is important to note that new patients will need to see a therapist in person for their initial visit, but can then continue with e-visits if they choose.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to one of our knowledgeable staff so that we can continue to provide our community with the best services possible.
