At Preferred Physical Therapy, the health and well-being of our clients, staff, and community are our number one priority, and we are closely monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak all the time.

  • Thorough, frequent cleaning and sanitation of all high touch areas with hospital grade disinfectant, including all surfaces: door handles, treatment room, equipment, kitchen and staff areas, and bathrooms.

  • Requesting patients advise us if they are potentially high risk for infection or have been exposed to anyone who is high risk and that appointments are rescheduled.
  • Requesting all patients use hand sanitizer provided to them upon entry into our reception area. All patients will wear a mask before entering the building. Hand sanitizer is available throughout all areas of our clinic.
  • We have implemented a temperature check for all employees prior to clock-in.

  • We educate our staff and patients with up-to-date information during the Pandemic.
  • We ensure staff who are experiencing flu-like symptoms remain at home.
