During the last year, Dankmeyer has followed all State of Maryland and local guidelines as regards COVID-19 mandates. This included limiting visitors and carefully timing patient visits to provide social distancing, monitoring staff and visitors for temperature and illness, requiring face coverings, increased personal protective equipment and cleaning, not accepting donations of used devices, and increased Telehealth. All of our policies were geared towards keeping our staff, patients, and clinical partners safe and comfortable - yet continuing to provide exceptional, compassionate service. We were determined to remain MARYLAND STRONG!
As Governor Hogan has declared the end of the Public Health State of Emergency at the end of June, it is time to evaluate and change our COVID-19 policies. As a medical facility, we continue to keep in mind the health and safety of all those we come into contact with in our offices. With this consideration in mind, starting July 1, 2021 we will implement the following guidelines:
Properly fitting face masks will be required of all visitors. Any Dankmeyer team member who has close patient contact for any reason is also required to wear a mask. We will also continue to maintain social distancing in our waiting rooms. There are many members of our communities who are still not eligible for COVID vaccination or have compromised immune systems, who need to maintain vigilance against the virus.
We will no longer screen visitors for temperature, or ask questions about travel, COVID exposure or positive tests. However, we do ask that if you feel ill you remain at home and give us a call to discuss your needs.
EFFECTIVE 8/26/21 a change in visitor policy: The number of patients and their caregivers must not exceed three in our facility at any time; all members of the party must accompany the patient to the exam room.
We will now accept donations of gently used devices.
We continue to offer Telehealth options and if you are interested in that please give us a call. If you have any questions or concerns about any of our policies, do not hesitate to call 410-636-8114, or email info@dankmeyer.com.
We continue to keep the health and safety of the entire Dankmeyer family uppermost in mind and we deeply appreciate the trust you place in us when you use Dankmeyer for all your prosthetic and orthotic needs. As we look forward to Dankmeyer’s 67th anniversary in September, we remain DANKMEYER STRONG.
If you are visiting the office, either on business or as a patient, you will still be required to wear a mask, and we will be masked when we are with you as well!
