Dear Patients, Family, and Friends,
Our team at Sante Center for Natural Healing sends our very best, and we hope that you are doing well and staying safe and healthy during this difficult time. The COVID-19 pandemic represents one of the greatest global health challenges to face mankind in modern times.
Given the evolving situation with COVID-19 we are monitoring all the CDC guidelines and recommendations and will keep you updated with any further changes. We will be relaying what we think is helpful as well as suggestions for our patients to stay safe and healthy.
Many of our patients have reached out with questions and concerns regarding the coronavirus. We want to assure you that we are currently open and seeing patients on a modified basis through telemedicine. We are here to be a resource for our community to answer questions, provide support, and therapeutic intervention if necessary. If you would like to schedule an appointment through telemedicine, please contact our front desk at 603-929-0084.
In an effort to comply with these evolving guidelines, the Sante Center for Natural Healing recommends that our patients who are experiencing fever, cough, or shortness of breath, or even sore throat to stay at home, implementing the strategy of voluntary quarantine.
We are screening patients and we have implemented protocols to protect our employees and patients in accordance with local, federal, and Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
There is an increasing interest and evidence base for the therapeutic benefits of IV Vitamin C and COVID-19. While we do use high dose intravenous vitamin V (IVC) for acutely ill patients with manageable symptoms, the current public health guidelines suggest that any person with a fever or any upper respiratory symptoms should treat their illness as potentially COVID-19, preferably obtaining appropriate diagnosis via your local health department or hospital ER.
We will remain open to our chronically ill patients (with no fever) who can benefit from the preventative therapeutics of IVC.
Finally, please do not hesitate to reach out to our office with any questions via phone or messaging through the patient portal. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
In Health,
Carolann Kummins
Owner, Sante Center for Natural Healing
