August 11, 2021

Due to the recent rise in COVID cases again, we have decided to change some office procedures in order to keep all of our patients and staff safe.

• Starting Monday August 16th, we will be closing our waiting room until further notice. We ask that you stay in your vehicle upon arrival. A member from our staff will come out to do temperature checks and bring the patient in for their appointment.

• If a patient has had any exposure to COVID we ask that you notify us immediately. The patient will then need to quarantine for 7-10 days before coming back for sessions.

• If a patient begins to show symptoms of COVID, or tests positive, the patient will need to be quarantined for 14 days from the day of their positive test before coming back for sessions, or until released by the Health Department.

We will continue to follow our cleaning procedures to disinfect the rooms after each session and our staff will continue to wear masks while seeing patients.

We also provide teletherapy sessions if additional precautions need to be taken to ensure safety.

Please feel free to reach out to us at (828) 371-3940, or by email at cqueen@gwenspeech.com with any questions or concerns.

You can also check our Facebook page at Gwen’s Speech Therapy for any updates or changes made. Recommendations from the CDC regarding COVID exposure are attached.
