It is still encouraged that people use masks in if you are in a post covid isolation period out of respect and care for the staff and other patients at Red Bridge. We do also encourage you to wear a mask if you are currently experiencing any other cold, flu or upper respiratory symptoms.

If your appointment falls at a time that you have covid19 and are still within the suggested isolation period we request that you notify us so that we can reschedule your appointment and provide you with telehealth support.
