Dear Valued Patients and Families:
We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months and, while many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your health and safety.
At Mid-Hudson Health Specialties, we want our patients, staff, and families to feel safe and comfortable when they enter our offices. Our offices follow infection control recommendations made by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Department of Health (DOH), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
We will continue to follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidelines that may be issued. We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agencies’ recommendations. In fact, we’ve gone above and beyond the mandated infection control to promote the safest environment for ourselves and our clients, so you may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. Some of the additional infection control actions we’ve taken for your safety include:
You will notice some changes when it’s time for your next appointment. In order to best protect our staff and patients, we’ve also developed some new guidelines for your appointments:
We look forward to seeing you all again and we’re happy to announce we have started re-opening our main sites in Kingston, Catskill, and Carmel.
The current pandemic has significantly impacted all of us. We know that there is an increased need for clinic services at this time, especially mental health counseling. We are happy to be able to continue to provide services to our current patients, as well as accept new patients. If you or your loved one are in need of new or additional clinical services at this time, please contact our Treatment Coordinator, Sherry Tesler, at Sherry.Tesler@ArcMH.org or 845-768-5151.
Thank you for being our patient and allowing us to provide the best care to you! We value your continued trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients.
Sincerely,
Dr. Nancy Dib
Chief Clinical Officer
