A message from Amy Mehary, Managing Partner of M-Power Prosthetics and Orthotics.

With new rules and restrictions in place for persons of Dallas, Texas as to COVID-19,  and to protect our clients and staff at our facility we will reduce our staff to 1 administrator, at the most 2 clinicians, and 1 person in the lab. As apparent in past posts to this  COVID-19 page, this is a rapidly changing situation.

Your next office visit what to expect:
Our staff will continue to disinfect every hard touch service, such as door handles, countertops, chairs, exam tables, and restrooms at the start of the day and after every client visit. We will stagger the appointments so that each patient will not have to wait in the lobby and we ask that clients not bring anyone other than 1 person to assist them if needed for the appointment. If you are feeling ill, have a temperature or a cough. STAY AT HOME this applies to our employees as well.

How will Covid affect your visit to M-Power

For our patients:

Effective Immediately, we are requesting that patients ONLY bring someone to our office if it is a necessary CAREGIVER.  We are trying to minimize exposure within our office and will not host non-essential persons at this time.

Once you arrive at our office, we will minimize your wait-time in our reception area and escort you directly to a patient room.  These rooms will be properly sanitized/disinfected after each patient.  

Our clinic staff will be reviewing schedules daily and calling patients in-advance of the next scheduled appointments, to confirm you have no risk factors.  Should you have any concerns, please discuss this with them at the time of confirmation call.

We also ask that you practice good hygiene, including:

• If you are coughing, sneezing or have a fever- please stay home- call to reschedule your visit. (We are asking the same of our staff members.)

• Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; if soap and water are not available, use an alcohol based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose & mouth with unwashed hands

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick

• Avoid sharing food and beverages when symptoms are present

• Clean & disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces

Prevention

Rapidly changing events surrounding Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) may necessitate that M-Power close temporarily to prevent the spread of the disease.  In the event of a temporary closure, we will notify patients immediately with detailed information. In the meantime, M-Power is open and will continue to maintain and increase the  frequency and extent of our cleaning regimens including, but not limited to:

• Staff and Patients wash hands throughout the day, including before and after patient care episodes

In an email to staff members managing partner of M-Power Prosthetics and Orthotics Amy Mehary today stressed that they should Plan instead of Panic as to the COVID-19 Virus.  Below is her instructions to the M-Power Staff:

M-Power will continue to monitor CDC and local health organization's recommendations. 

DO NOT COME TO WORK IF YOU ARE SICK. If you have a fever, shortness of breath, or any flu-like symptoms, seek medical care. 

In the workplace the M-Power Staff will:
-be diligent about wearing single-use Personal Protection Equipment when appropriate.
-Wipe down /disinfect surfaces in patient rooms after every patient care encounter
-Wash your hands (hourly at minimum).

The Admin Staff is to advise our clients to not come in if they are sick and have any symptoms listed above.

The M-Power staff will start the day cleaning and disinfecting bathrooms, door handles, high touch hard surfaces and the M-Power team will continue to clean throughout the day as needed.

This is a dynamic situation, please feel free to bring any concerns, suggestions or ideas to the table. We want to manage this safely and offer peace of mind to you and your families.

Thank You
