At Essence Community Acupuncture, patient safety is our number one concern. With that said, we have implemented new policies and procedures due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. These changes have been made with  guidance from the CDC, American Acupuncture Society, NCCAOM, MA Board of Medicine, and State/Town regulations.

​

• All staff are required to wear a mask in the building. Masks for patients are rccommended.

• Sanitizing station upon entry.

• All patients are asked to reschedule if they are feeling ill or have symptoms (or have been exposed to someone with symptoms) such as: fever, shortness of breath, or cough. 

• Disinfectant used on all surfaces before and after each treatment. 

• We have discontinued the use of reusable sheets/blankets in most areas. We are using disposable pillowcase and face rest covers. We will not be able to provide blankets during this time.

•  True HEPA air filters will be running at all times to purify air. 

• Employee raises to compensate increased responsibilities.
