This is a time when our families are rightfully weary when coming into the office for needed medical care. In an effort to provide a safe working environment for our staff and reassure our families that we are taking adequate measures for the safety of our patients, here is a list of some of the actions we are implementing in order to avoid exposure to infectious diseases including Covid-19.

• Please call us from the parking lot to check in for your appointment. We will update your information and you will utilize your car as the waiting room. When we call you in, you will be taken directly to your room.
• We ask all patients and parents coming in for appointments for sick visits to still wear masks to their appointment if they are at all able, and continue to use sanitizer, all in order to prevent transmission of infectious diseases to other patients and to our staff. Providers and MA's involved in the care of these patients will also continue to wear masks for the same reason. Our staff will also mask when caring for well infants under 4 months of age, regardless of whether the parents do so. 
• The rooms are being thoroughly sanitized between patients and the rest of the office is being cleaned regularly throughout the day.

We appreciate your cooperation in trying to minimize the health risk of infection to our patients, their families and our staff.

Should you have any non-urgent questions please feel free to email us at PPBC@advocaredoctors.com. We will do our best to respond within 24-48 hours Monday through Friday.

Thank you,

Pediatric Physicians of Burlington County
