Update on current masking guidelines

We are staying committed to current masking guidelines.

CARE Fertility will continue to require patients, staff, and physicians to wear a mask at our clinic at all times. Masks, when combined with handwashing and maintaining a safe distance, have been proven to be effective at limiting the spread of COVID-19.

See more information below on how to contact us and what to expect on your visit.

COVID vaccine and those going through fertility treatment

CARE Fertility encourages patients undergoing fertility treatment to receive vaccination based on their current eligibility criteria. For more information, go to the American Society of Reproduction Medicine (ASRM).

How we are keeping you and the CARE Fertility support team safe

Everyone must wear a mask

When we are in public, all of us are instructed to wear a mask or face covering. Please follow the same guidelines for our clinic. If you do not have a mask or face covering, you will be asked to reschedule.

Screening prior to entry

We are screening patients prior to entry into the clinic. A temperature check and questions on respiratory symptoms and exposure to others will be asked.

Modified visitors

At this time, we are only allowing the individual having the appointment to enter the clinic.

Limiting treatments so we can have the right amount of staff

Our goal is to have as few patients and staff within the facility as possible. We will review treatment support to accurately predict staffing requirements.

Our process when you visit our clinic

Step 1	Step 2	Step 3
You will call us from the parking lot to check-in.	We will call you when we are ready for you. Only the individual having the appointment will be allowed into the clinic.	The medical assistant or nurse will check your temperature. If your temperature is over 99.5 degree you will be asked to reschedule.

Everyday Hygiene and Prevention

Wash your 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, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces – especially mobile devices – using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. If you do not have a tissue, use your sleeve (not your hands).
Practice social distancing, following guidelines of the CDC, health agencies and local authorities.
Stay home if you are sick or feeling unwell until you are symptom-free for at least 24 hours. If you are well but have family members who are sick, you should self-quarantine yourself until symptom-free. If you have been in areas where suspected infections have been reported, please stay home!
If you are in an “at-risk health category,” you should avoid meetings or places with greater than ten people.
Re-evaluate any travel to areas with risk of community spread.
