The news on the COVID-19 public health crisis seems to be constantly changing and all we are hearing about in the news. We know many of you are worried, given all the uncertainty surrounding this pandemic.

But if one thing is certain, it's that Health First is here for you.

We know that you are concerned about the well-being of yourself, your loved ones and your community. And we want you to know that our more than 9,000 associates are working hard to protect us all during these challenging and sometimes scary times. We encourage you to watch this new video, where Dr. Timothy Laird, a board-certified physician with Health First, offers some reassurance during this unsettling time.

We train to respond to healthcare crises and are well-versed in eliminating as many risks as we can. For example, we are doing our part to reduce the number of people who are coming into our facilities, in an effort to reduce any potential risk to associates and patients alike. We have postponed routine physicals and well visits for the time being and are only making appointments for patients who are feeling sick.

We also encourage you to take advantage of our virtual visits. Not only does this limit potential exposure to COVID-19, but it still gives you an option to receive care for routine illnesses from the comfort of your home, when it's convenient for you. You can call 321.434.3131 to schedule a virtual visit.

Secondly, rest assured we have enough Personal Protective Equipment to protect you and our healthcare team.

We hope this information is comforting to you during this unsettling time. Our providers and associates are here to help you and your loved ones. We consider it our calling to care for you - especially during times like these. Together, we can protect one another. And together, we will get through this.
