COVID-19 ANNOUNCEMENT

**UPDATED COVID 19 INFORMATION*

We at LCWS are proud to offer safe and up to date medical practices every day to all patients. Please review the additional precautionary measures we have taken during the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure the safety of all our patients and caregivers.

Please be aware of changes for the time being:

Effective 10/13
1. One visitor per patient allowed for all appointments except the Lab. (1 spouse OR child allowed, not both.)
2. Children must be in a stroller. More than one child allowed if they are both in a stroller or carrier.

• We continue to have normal operating hours.

• All patients and visitors must wear face masks, and use hand sanitizer at the door.

• Seating is arranged for social distancing with one seat designated for each patient/visitor. Any seat with an X cannot be occupied.

• We are now offering Telemedicine options for those who have concerns about physically attending their appointments. Please call the office at 843.797.3664 to find out more.

• If you have Telemedicine appointment scheduled with your doctor, please visit our Telemedicine page to access your physician’s name to enter the waiting room when your appointment is scheduled.

• Due to the new guidelines limiting gatherings of 10 or more people, all CenteringPregnancy meetings are postponed. If you are a current member of a Centering group, you will be contacted this week to schedule an appointment with your main provider. We will keep you updated as the Covid-19 guidelines continue to develop, and will resume Centering groups as soon as it is possible.

• Patients who are showing symptoms and/or families who have sick household members to remain at home and call their primary care provider. If you have flu like symptoms and fever please be evaluated either by a primary care provider or an ER facility. Roper and MUSC are both offering free virtual health screenings for COVID-19:
