Health Updates From Your MPCP Arundel Mills Providers
YOUR OVERALL HEALTH IS OUR PRIORITY
As we continue to navigate in a COVID-19 world, we are still providing care to our patients using COVID-19 safe protocols. Delay in appointments with your primary care physician may cause significant medical complications. Please continue to schedule your preventative exams and follow up appointments without fear of exposure to COVID-19. Our patients are screened thoroughly to make sure they are safe to enter the office. All who enter the office are required to wear their masks. Our waiting room is regularly sanitized and the exam rooms are disinfected between each patient. We are offering telemedicine appointments to our patient who are having any COVID associated symptoms.
COMMUNICATION
During the Pandemic, our office is experiencing larger than normal call volumes. If you are unable to reach the office through our phone system, please note that you are able to request prescription refills, appointments and referrals through our patient portal. We are asking all patients who have not yet signed-up for our MyChart Patient Portal to please register today, so all necessary paperwork can be completed prior to your appointment. To register for the Portal please go to the MPCP website and select Patient Portal and follow the prompts, call the office and the staff can assist you or sign up at your upcoming office visit.
COVID-19 VACCINATIONS AND TESTING
We can administer Pfizer and Moderna vaccines at our Arundel Mills Location for initial and booster vaccinations. If you or your child have not yet received your COVID-19 vaccine, please contact our office, as we have select days to administer vaccines for our patients.
Our office is also still performing COVID-19 Testing. We offer the COVID-19 Antigen Testing (Rapid) and COVID-19 PCR testing. With the COVID-19 Antigen (Rapid) testing you can have your results back within 20 minutes and with the PCR testing you can have your results back within 24 to 48 hours. Contact the office if you need COVID-19 testing for COVID-19 symptoms, travel or for surgical clearance.
It is our goal to provide you with useful & timely information to help you live your best life! Here are three short articles that can help do just that: the importance of eye screening, colon cancer screening, and warding off chronic kidney disease.
