Lowry Pediatrics announces temporary schedule change and other practice updates

Due to the recent spread of the COVID-19 in the US, Lowry Pediatrics will temporarily change its patient schedule for the next 8 weeks. In an effort to align with the social distancing recommendations, some changes are being made to our previously established policies and protocols. These measures are intended to maximize the safety of our patients and staff and are being updated on a daily basis.

Beginning Wednesday, March 18, all well-child visits will be limited to essential vaccines only with children under 2 years of age being scheduled in the morning and children needing vaccines for Kindergarten being scheduled in the early afternoon. Virtual visits will be scheduled for sick visits or other concerns (ADHD follow ups, eczema follow ups, etc.). Patients requiring additional evaluation will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.

Our goal is to both:

  1. Prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses within our office and community.
  2. Alleviate the strain currently being experienced by local emergency departments.


Parents:


If you or your child is ill with fever and/or cough on the day of your appointment, please call our office (720-859-8222) to obtain an appointment for a virtual visit so that we may assess your child.



During this time, we encourage you and your family to:


  • Practice good hand hygiene by frequently washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or using hand sanitizer when washing with soap and water is not an option
  • Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands
  • Cover coughs and sneezes
  • Disinfect and clean surfaces that are frequently touched
  • Practice social distancing and self-quarantine by staying home to help decrease community spread of the virus. If you must go out, try to be at least 6 feet away from other people


As things return to normal we will work with our families to get regular appointments back on track. We are here for you. This situation is constantly evolving, and we pledge to keep our patients and families updated throughout this process. If you have any questions or concerns, call us!

Thank you for your patience. Please remember to take care of yourselves during this stressful time, Eat right, get plenty of sleep and exercise while practicing social distancing!
