How Groton Wellness is currently handling the Coronavirus
Considering our values of community, care, and collaboration it is our intention to keep you informed.
The CDC considers this new virus (COVID-19) a public health concern based on current information and Massachusetts has declared a State of Emergency. Since information is constantly changing we encourage all of our patients and staff to read the following CDC website: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html
Visit this site on a regular basis to ensure you have the most up-to-date information and guidelines.
First and foremost, the safety of our patients and staff are of critical importance. Groton Wellness has activated a plan that will guide decisions based on recommendations from authorities. We are frequently disinfecting our common areas and taking other precautions. In an effort to prevent unnecessary exposure we may make adjustments to scheduling and communication with patients as this situation continues to evolve.
