Welcome to the Family Health Center!
You might be concerned about the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus now that there are cases in Washington. Family Health Center has been preparing for this and we would like to give you some information in case you are worried about your own risk.
How it is spread
The virus is most likely spread like other respiratory viruses, so the care that you would normally take to avoid catching the flu is a good start for preventing the spread of COVID-19. The best way for all of us to prevent the spread of the new virus is to practice good hand hygiene by washing your hands frequently, covering your cough or sneeze in your elbow and not your hands, and staying home when ill.
If you feel sick
If you have symptoms such as cough, runny nose, and fever, and your symptoms are mild, we recommend that you stay at home. Remember that it is cold and flu season, so there are many possible causes of these symptoms. If your symptoms are more concerning, please call your Family Health Center clinic before coming into a clinic, urgent care center or emergency room. Your primary care provider is your best resource for screening.
Use telephone or My Chart visits
If you have symptoms or want to communicate with your provider without coming into the clinic, you can visit with your provider using telephone or My Chart. Your provider will tell you if you need to come into the clinic to be seen.
