Our Seasonal Influenza/COVID 19 Update

 

We continue to stay abreast of the government, community, and personal responses to seasonal influenza and COVID-19. As always, we seek what’s best for our clients, our therapists, and our staff by adhering to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines. 

 

Latest Information

The CDC "treats COVID-19 as a seasonal respiratory virus, integrating it with flu and RSV prevention strategies, focusing on vaccines, hygiene, and individual risk assessment rather than broad mandates."

 

Their website states that you may have a respiratory virus if your symptoms (such as fever, chills, fatigue, cough, headache, runny nose and others) are not better explained by another cause. 

Please do not arrive for a therapy appointment if you have a fever or feel ill. The CDC states that you should stay home and not resume normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, BOTH ARE TRUE:

• Your symptoms are getting better overall, and

• You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).

 

​​​​Our commitment is to the overall health of our clients, and we recognize that the therapy we offer is a crucial part of living in a healthy way, especially in the face of anxiety around the spread of seasonal influenza and COVID. So, if you need Samaritan's services, please give us a call at 888.200.9746 to make an appointment. We offer teletherapy in addition to in-person counseling.

​

Thank you for choosing Samaritan as a place to help you as you strive for greater mental, relational, spiritual, and physical health.
