Hima Acupuncture COVID safety protocol

Healing is more essential than ever. Hima Acupuncture is committed to keeping the community healthy and safe during the COVID19 pandemic. We have updated our office cleaning and safety protocols per current CDC guidelines.

*As a healthcare facility, please be advised that masks and face coverings are still required for both the provider and the patient, regardless of vaccination status.

The provider will:

• Wear appropriate PPE, such as a mask, and a medical coat

• Sanitize hands before and after each patient interaction

• Sanitize high-touch surfaces frequently using a hospital-grade disinfectant

• In enclosed office space without window ventilation, HEPA filters have been installed to the central air system, as well as individual HEPA filter air purifier in the treatment room

• Office hours will be by appointment only

• As always, only sterile, single-use acupuncture needles are used, which are disposed of safely as medical waste

As the client, you will be asked to:

• Please arrive at your scheduled time in order to minimize office traffic

• Enter the office wearing a mask/ face covering, and keep your face covering for the entirety of the time at the office

• No accompanying guests are allowed unless approved by the provider prior to the appointment

• You might be asked to out a Patient Advisory & Acknowledgement Form electronically (on the day of appointment)

• If you experience any COVID-19 or flu-like symptoms (cough, sore throat, fever, shortness of breath, loss of taste or smell), get in touch right away to cancel, and no late-cancellation fee will apply

• Bring your own change of clothes if needed, no blankets will be provided at the moment
