We hope this finds you and your loved ones healthy during this challenging time. Our goal is to support the health and well-being of our Pace Community, especially students, faculty, and staff, in particular the essential personnel who continue to work on-site. The tri-state area has seen a dramatic increase in coronavirus (COVID-19) cases, so we all must continue to be extremely vigilant about protecting ourselves and our families.
Because there is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19, the most important thing we can do is to avoid being exposed to the virus or exposing others. Since the virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person and can also be asymptomatic in some people, please follow these CDC prevention guidelines:
Social distancing is one of the best methods for preventing the spread of COVID-19; however, the CDC now recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies), especially in areas of significant community-based transmission, which includes New York City, Westchester, Long Island, and parts of New Jersey.
Telehealth with University Health Care
University Health Care continues to serve you through our confidential telehealth setup. Please make an appointment through the patient portalor by calling. Managing our mental health can be especially challenging during this difficult time. We are pleased that Krystyna de Jacq, PhD, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, is seeing patients via telehealth on Tuesdays. Please note that staff does not accept walk-in appointments.
The Red Cross is seeking people who are fully recovered from COVID-19and may be able to donate plasma to help current patients with serious or immediately life-threatening COVID-19 infections, or those judged by a healthcare provider to be at high risk of progression to severe or life-threatening disease.
Your health and well-being is the top priority of University Health Care. Please don’t hesitate to contact us.
