From your Anderson Hills Pediatrics team, we want to wish you Happy Holidays!
We know that this season will continue to look very different for many of you, your children, family and friends. We want your winter holidays to be as enjoyable this year as it has in years’ past! The final weeks of 2020 may be the most important of this year. Holiday celebrations with multiple sides of families and friends within short periods of times are known to be super spreader events. We want to do our best to ensure your child or children and family stay healthy through this season.
How can you celebrate safely this year? Below are a few tips that still apply for this holiday season.
- Prepare and enjoy a meal with those in your household.
- Create a virtual meal or gathering with those outside of your home.
- Enjoy parades, sporting events and holiday movies by watching at home.
- If the weather cooperates, we encourage you to celebrate outdoors.
- Continue to wash hands regularly, when they are soiled, before and after prepping food, and before and after eating.
- While we don’t suggest gatherings outside of the household, if you choose to do so, we encourage you to keep the group size under 8 and no more than 2 households combining.
Finally, we wanted to make you aware of a few changes in our operating hours during the holidays. The Anderson Office is open with normal business hours except for December 24th and 31st. On those dates, we will be open for ill appointments between 8:00AM -12:00PM. Our Amelia Office will be closed on December 24th, 25th, 31st and January 1st. We will also continue to have a nurse or physician available by phone 24/7 at 513-232-8100.
