April 28, 2023
Dear Fairhope Pediatrics Patients and Families,
We know that you depend on us to be the pediatric health experts for your family and to provide the safest environment possible for every child who enters our office. With the end of the public health emergency, we are updating our office mask policy as follows:
We require that any patient who presents with concern for a contagious illness (for example, fever, cough, and/or sore throat) wear a mask for the duration of their time in the office. For patients who do not have symptoms of a contagious illness, we welcome those patients and their families to decide for themselves if they would like to wear masks.
As always, we will have masks available for our patients and their families whenever needed. Thank you for your continued support, and we are thrilled to get to see your lovely faces in the clinic again.
Sincerely,
The Fairhope Pediatrics Team
