Envita Medical Center Continues to Be Fully Operational During the COVID-19 Outbreak
We at Envita Medical Center do not have the typical corporate response to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the last 20 years, we have been leaders in the field of advanced integrative medicine and immunotherapy. We are not simply taking precautions but providing prophylactic immune system support against viral respiratory infections for our late-stage and complex cancer patients as well as anyone in an immune compromised state. Our aim is to keep our patients and staff in the 80th percentile of the population that experience little to minor or no symptoms if exposed to COVID-19.
With the country issuing stay-at-home orders, cancer patients with late-stage diagnoses do not have the luxury to wait weeks or months for this pandemic to pass before seeking treatment. Cancer is an ever-changing disease that needs immediate and targeted treatment options to prevent further advancement and complications. Having the appropriate immunotherapy options available to our patients makes all the difference with how the lungs and body respond to infection, especially aggressive respiratory viruses.
At Envita Medical Center, your health, immunity, safety, and healing are the highest priority to us. We are not a community hospital; patients are carefully screened and receive treatment from us for weeks or months at a time (maintaining the same community). We want to assure you that our team of physicians and nurses are up to date with the most current COVID-19 research and data. In fact, we have been asked to share our strategies with members of The White House and major hospitals around the country to provide immunotherapy protocols to aid in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 for patients and first responders.
Please review the protective measures Envita has put in place to protect our patients and staff:
- We are actively and prophylactically treating our patients and staff with antiviral immune protective measures to maintain strong immune systems and reduce the risk of infection.
- We are actively monitoring where incoming patients and caregivers have traveled in the past 60 days and if they have been experiencing any symptoms. However, due to the many asymptomatic carriers, we treat all our patients as though they have weak immunity and are at risk for infections.
- We have put in place a telemedicine platform for our patients to be assessed and tested before coming to Envita to receive treatment.
- All active patients and deemed medically necessary caregivers are provided protective N95 masks to wear throughout the treatment area and center.
- We have an array of treatments that are designed to fight infection, support the immune system, and promote respiratory health that are being used prophylactically.
- The Envita team is providing routine cleans with peroxide wipes and CaviWipes before and after each patient throughout the day with protective masking and gloves.
- Our hospital certified cleaning crew performs nightly cleaning with medical grade products and disinfectants.
- All Envita team is wearing protective N95 masks as an added layer of protection.
- We have a top-of-the-line HEPA air purification system with nightly ozone purification and multiple HEPA filters throughout the entire facility.
- We have moved all non-essential personnel form our corporate offices to work-from-home, however, our pharmacy team continues to supply medications to thousands of doctors across the country who are treating and helping with COVID-19.
- We have procured medication and supplies for many months to ensure our team does not run short on any medication, supplies, or immunotherapies.
When being faced with challenges like these, it is important to realize that Envita Medical Center is one of the safest places you can be during this pandemic because we are taking all the necessary precautions to ensure our patients continue to receive the lifesaving treatments they need to help aid in overcoming late-stage cancer and complex infectious diseases like debilitating Lyme disease. We are here for you, our patients, and may God bless you on your journey to healing. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Envita Medical Center at 866-830-4576, we have trained professionals standing by to help guide you on the path toward healing.
