Re-opening Your Practice in the Midst of COVID-19

As state and local authorities permit your practice to reopen, it is imperative that you implement processes that ensure the safety and health of your employees and patients.   Our new checklist is provided in furtherance of our commitment to support you during this uncertain time. There is no one-size-fits-all solution, so we encourage you to adapt this tool to your individual practice needs.
