COVID-19 Plan



Dear Friends,

Our mission at HCC is to help you achieve and maintain optimal Health & Wellness.  
We are committed to maintaining regular business hours and operation.
We take pride in the trust you place in HCC. This notice is to inform you of the steps we are taking to protect you and our team at HCC.

We’re totally committed to taking necessary steps to keep our office healthy and safe. As you are aware, COVID-19 cases- also known as coronavirus, are spreading in the United States and we'd like to take any preventative measures possible to limit the spread.

We'd like to share with you what we are doing to keep our facility clean and healthy and we’d also like to share some ways you may be able to help us.  

Steps we’ve implemented in the Office: 

-All team members are requested to be extra vigilant to observe and hold each other accountable to our hygiene standard.

-We have intensified our cleaning/sanitizing protocol and frequency. You will likely see our staff cleaning and disinfecting all surfaces and doorknobs regularly throughout the day. We also have a professional cleaning service that will deep clean the office a few additional evenings during the week.

-Hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes will be available throughout the clinic.

-We’re in constant communication with our entire team about ultimate hygiene practices and clinical updates to provide you a safe and clean environment.    

-Any HCC team member experiencing any type of cold, allergy or flu symptom is required to stay at home.

What we're asking of you:  

-If you are experiencing symptoms of illness, such as a fever, cough, body aches/chills or difficulty breathing please call us ASAP to re-schedule your appointment.

-Wash your hands vigorously with soap and water, especially after coughing or blowing your nose. The recommended length is 20 seconds.  

-Cough into a tissue or your shirt. But a reminder, if you’re coughing a lot it’s probably best to re-schedule your appointment. 

-If possible, avoid touching your nose, mouth, and eyes during your visit.

-Stay hydrated, get adequate rest and eat a healthy diet!

We appreciate your understanding of our increased precautions. We will stay informed so that we can make the best possible decisions for your and our well-being!

Stay WELL!

For Stress Relief...Try EARTHING Today!

Happy Sunday (4/5/20)! I hope this post finds you well!  As we begin yet another week of social distancing and a new set of "social rules", I continue to search for tools to share on how to safely and effectively reduce stress & tension in the body.  In previous posts, I have shared several stress reducers and today I want to share a NEW one that I have used for over 20 years.   It's called EARTHING! Earthing  (also known as grounding) refers to contact with the Earth's surface electrons by walking or standing barefoot outside or sitting, working, or sleeping indoors connected to conductive systems, some of them patented, that transfer the energy from the ground into the body. These are MY FEET...In the grass on Friday afternoon...Relaxing & Calming! Health Benefits of Earthing (Grounding) -Earthing Neutralizes Free Radicals.

Who do you choose to be during these Challenging Times??

I hope this post finds you well. Time can be an invaluable resource for those who choose to use it wisely.   Being Present and making mindful choices right now is KEY! I think it's fair to assume that all of us have had a minute to pause and think about the world today.  As we continue on, we will have conscious choices to make about how you process this time and who you choose to be as a result of this time. I found this chart to be very interesting and telling.  Take a critical look at the Zones represented here:  Fear, Learning & Growth. I am not formally trained in mental health but I think this chart is a rational emotional transition for most "aware" people.  For many reasons a natural reaction to a pandemic is "fear".  The word itself is scary and throw in "stay at home" orders and "social distancing" and fear is a normal response.  The unknown consequences of a pandemic is frightening.  Many emotions are present in the...
