Oasis at Women’s Specialists of New Mexico is reaching out to our patients with information on our response to the COVID-19 or Novel Coronavirus.
First, for up-to-date information on the developing situation in New Mexico, we are encouraging patients monitor http://cv.nmhealth.org. Here you will find the latest official information on COVID -19 in New Mexico as well as guidance for self-protection. WSNM is checking this informational site daily and responding with appropriate measures.
We are also closely monitoring the New Mexico Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) COVID-19 website daily.
Second, we want to remind our patients that we take care of women’s health, providing emergent gynecological visits and prenatal care for pregnant moms. Unlike primary care or internal medicine clinics, we do not treat patients with colds and flu. If you need medical care for these conditions, please seek help from your family practice provider or an urgent care.
Our offices are open for scheduled OB-GYN appointments. However, if you have flu like symptoms, please do not come into our office. If you have a non-essential appointment and want to reschedule, please call our office at (505) 843-6168. Similarly, our providers and support teams are not coming into the office if they have flu like symptoms. WSNM is doing daily temperature checks on all employees. Many non-clinical employees have opted to work at home. Messages are being sent to patients who have scheduled appointments via our Vital Interactions system stating that if they have symptoms, to please call our office first. For the safety of your family, we are requesting family members not attend any appointments with you for the short term.
