We are working diligently to ensure continuity of care to our patients during this unprecedented health crisis. As endocrinologists, a large portion of our patient population is in the high-risk group for contracting COVID-19: patients who are elderly, immunocompromised, or have chronic medical conditions (cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and chronic lung disease are examples). Many of our patients are also caretakers to individuals in the high-risk group and fear exposing a loved one to the virus. To protect everyone, we have implemented telemedicine visits starting Monday, March 16, 2020. This decision was made after careful monitoring of the CDC recommendations to limit time spent outside the home and in close contact with other individuals.
