As the situation changes, I will continue to update Rainwater Psychiatry’s policies and procedures following the recommendations of public health officials and city mandates.
Practice protocol changes and other updates
Virtual Appointments
Telehealth appointments ONLY until further notice!
Established Patients: Following government and public health guidelines, ALL appointments at Rainwater Psychiatry will be held virtually until further notice.
New Patients: As mentioned above, ALL appointments will be conducted virtually until further notice. If you would like to schedule an appointment, click the appointments link.
Medication Shortages
So far so good!
Suppliers: Only a few medications utilized at this practice have been affected thus far, and generally it’s only some of the available doses of a generic medication from one out of several suppliers that has any issue. I’ll continue to follow the progress and update this feed as much as I can.
Pharmacies: Each pharmacy has its own policy and medication stock which may not reflect the national availability on a given day. Also, NYC pharmacies are offering FREE HOME DELIVERY!
Free stuff for helping cope with social distancing!
