Open Door Informs the Community How Services Have Adapted to COVID-19

Press release from Open Door Clinic:

We have been working to try to keep patients aware of developments in our rapidly-changing health care situation. We need your help in getting the message out to our community that we open to patients.

Please see this short video from our CEO, Tory Starr above.

Tory sums up our message very succinctly, but here is a bit more context.

The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated that Open Door quickly change the ways we deliver services.

We have quickly adapted our way of working so that we can continue to offer services and meet patient needs:

  • Telehealth via secure video conference
  • Telehealth via phone
  • In-person visits at health centers when Telehealth is not an option for the visit type

Our health centers are open and we want patients to call their clinic if they need health care. To date, our patients report great satisfaction with these ways of meeting with their health care teams.

These new ways of working allow us to:

  • Treat illnesses
  • Support management of chronic health issues
  • Provide behavioral health
  • Help community members enroll in insurance
  • Deliver many other primary health care and support services

Drive through at open doorWe have also opened a dedicated Drive-Through Clinic in Eureka for patients with respiratory symptoms indicative of COVID-19. We are triaging patients to that location for the general safety of our community.  This is not a drop-in clinic: this clinic is for established Open Door patients, who should call ahead for an appointment.

Our community is diligent in observing the safety guidance shared by our counties’ Public Health departments. We also want patients with health care needs to get help during this time. If patients need care, we ask them to call their clinic and see how we can help them; we do not want patients to neglect their general health during this time.Drive through at open door
