Many Paths Acupuncture will resume clinic hours on Monday April 20, 2020. 

Thanks to all for your support and patience throughout this unprecedented crisis. Just staying “in touch” at a distance means a lot to someone who makes their living touching people. 

The Washington State Department of Health issued recommendations specific to Acupuncturists on April 7, 2020. 

“Governor Inslee’s proclamation 20-25 allows health care providers to continue to provide essential health services. To control the spread of COVID-19, in-person treatment should be limited to patients with a clear and documentable urgent medical need. Practitioners should also consider if services can be appropriately provided via telehealth. Some in-person services are non-essential and should not be provided. No in-person appointment is risk-free, even if both patient and practitioner appear well. Practitioners should weigh their own risk and comfort level when deciding whether to continue in-person visits.”

We can provide a safe environment, but as stated above, no in-person visit can be regarded as entirely risk free. Our long-practiced sanitation protocols are now supplemented and enhanced, and we will be managing entry and exit to minimize interactions. 

Thanks to all who expressed condolences last month for the death of my Mom, Linda. 

Mom survived challenges and adversity for an impressive 93 years. I am very grateful for your concern and sympathy. 

We look forward to seeing you soon.
