The Coronavirus (COVID-19) and our commitment to clinic safety

 

Coronavirus and Our Commitment to Patient Safety

While there have been no cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) in our clinics, our primary concern is the health and safety of our staff and patients. 

Health Plus Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Center, Edison NJ  has been actively monitoring and following the Center for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines in order to refine our procedures and provide safeguards in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

According to the most recent information from the CDC, for most people, the immediate risk of being exposed to the virus that causes COVID-19 is thought to be low. As the situation evolves, you can expect further updates on our response.

• Completing your treatment is the most important factor in successful physical therapy. Health Plus PT open and continue to serve patients.
