Insight Wellness COVID-19 Policy

Our Policy is based on one, simple concept; Help us to help you.

If our staff is exposed, it means we cannot treat patients in either our private practice or in our work in supportive Oncology.  Some of our patients in private practice are immuno-compromised.  Nearly all cancer patients are at greater risk.

Patients who meet the following criteria may choose whether or not to mask:
1)  Show evidence of vaccination and/or boosters
2)  Complete and pass Insight’s Covid screening  within 24 hours of each appointment
3)  Allow us to test forehead Temperature
4)  If patient is unvaccinated, they may also provide a home test result, within 24 hours of your appointment.
If any patient does not meet one of these steps, simply wear a mask for your appointment.  In cases where forehead temp or screening raises concern, you’ll be given the option to reschedule.

 

Working with Supportive Oncology patients allows us to stay in-line with hospital information and policy updates as the situation evolves.

To that end, we’ve adapted the following policies to our practice:

  • During this time, both Tom and Beatriz will be taking a preventative herbal formula, and monitor for any signs of infection.  We will continue to mask until the Hospital system suspends masking in clinical areas.
  • In person appointments utilize the following precautions:
  1. Patient screening questionnaires
  2. Limitations to in-person volume.  This keeps quality high and risk low.
  3. Disinfecting procedures: We will be wiping down all surfaces after any contact with an approved surfactant.
  4. As with all of our treatments, we will continue to follow CNT (Clean Needle Technique) procedures to insure the highest standard for public safety during treatment.
  5. When possible, we will maintain a 6 foot distance when conducting Consultations, etc.
  6. Our treatment table will be completely covered with a flat or fitted sheet which will be discarded and changed after every treatment.

During this time, here are some general guidelines for keeping you and your families safe:

  • Wash your hands for a minimum of 20 seconds. Hand sanitizer is acceptable. 
  • Maintain practices for good immunity – Sleep, lower stress, and limit sugar and alcohol intake.
  • Consider the following dietary conditions:
  1. Limit iced beverages. Drink warm or room temperature beverages. 
  2. Hydrate well – daily recommended intake is 6-8 8 oz glasses (64 ounces) as a bare minimum. Remember, replace with water equal amounts of de-hydrating beverages such as soda, tea or coffee.
  3. Limit “cold” natured foods
  4. Limit phlegm producing dairy
  5. Moderate fiber intake to promote regularity – Your body can’t fight off pathogens if the trash is piling up.
  6. Avoid fried foods
  • When you go outside, cover the back of your neck with a collar or scarf.
  • Stay 6 feet away from other individuals, when possible.
