Beginning Monday, May 11, ONS will resume all office visits during regular business hours. Ambulatory surgeries  are scheduled to resume on Monday, May 18.

Throughout the past two months, ONS has maintained our commitment to patient and community health and safety. As our state leaders allow communities to reopen, ONS has strategically planned for the reinstatement of our elective office visits and ambulatory surgeries. 

We know this is a time of uncertainty. Our clinician-led team is acting purposefully and strategically to help you feel confident walking through our doors to receive the essential services you need, and to protect your safety before, during and after your visit.

ONS IS PROTECTING YOUR SAFETY AND ACCESS TO CARE

ONS is taking a physician-led and phased approach to safely treat patients with time-sensitive needs. This careful effort began with the introduction of ONS TeleHealth to keep patient care plans on track during Shelter in Place orders and the service is now expanding.

While we do not and have not treated any COVID-19 patients within our facilities, we are nonetheless enhancing our Safety & Access Protocols to support your overall wellness.

ONS SAFETY AND ACCESS PROTOCOLS
