A message about COVID-19 from NACC

NACC wants to make sure our patients who are at the highest risk of COVID19 (Coronavirus) complications remain safe.  We are encouraging staff and patients who have respiratory symptoms and fever to stay at home whenever possible to protect our high risk relatives. Please call us at 612-872-8086 and press 3 for our Nurseline for help deciding whether to come in or where you can get tested if you have symptoms of COVID19.

At this time, we do not have testing here at the clinic but can help you find a location for testing if you call in. Please call the clinic at 612-872-8086 before coming in if you have any respiratory symptoms.

Common symptoms of the COVID19 virus include fever, dry cough, and shortness of breath.   If you have signs or symptoms of COVID19 virus, or have been exposed to someone with COVID19, call us for further assistance.

You are HIGH RISK  if you are an elder, especially over age 60, or have a chronic health conditions, especially diabetes, heart or lung problems or immunosuppression.  We suggest that high risk people isolate themselves as much as is possible, including avoiding coming in to the clinic unless necessary.  If you are one of these people let us know if you need something, and we will do our best to accommodate you so you don't need to come to the clinic.  If you know someone who is high risk, offer to help them get supplies so they don't have to go out.

Also, please bear with us as we work through staff shortages at this time.  We are doing our best to keep everyone safe.
