Update: Yoga & Schedule

Here are the latest updates: 

Yoga

To be more in line with the initiatives of the Pennsylvania Department of Health, yoga classes for March are canceled. 

The good news is that if you have access to the internet at home, you can continue your yoga practice during the break.  A great free resource is https://www.doyogawithme.com/.  There are also classes available on YouTube. 

Office Schedule

We are adjusting the office schedule to help keep everyone healthy and avoid unintended exposures. Therefore we are making the following changes  

1. Routine and well visits will be held in the morning. We will space the appointments to allow for extra cleaning between each visit. 

2. Sick visits will be held in the afternoon. 

3. We will be using telehealth whenever possible. Here is the link to our virtual waiting room: https://doxy.me/idealwellnessfp

3. Dr. Orner will be out of the office on Thursday and Friday - As some of you know, I serve as medical director for two local correctional facilities. To limit exposure, I will be clustering my duties at these facilities to the end of the week.  If you have an acute need during these days, please call the office and we will figure out the best plan. We still have same day and next day access options for acute needs. 

My health care colleagues on the front lines at the urgent care and emergency rooms are already becoming overwhelmed. Please send comforting thoughts their way. 

One of the best statements I've seen so far is this,  "In the end, it will be impossible to know if we overreacted or did too much, but it will be quite apparent if we under reacted or did too little."
