To slow the spread of COVID-19, M Health Fairview started moving several primary care clinics to a “virtual first” model on March 27. This has helped patients remain at home, while preserving critical personal protective equipment for providers who need it most.
The new care model leverages OnCare.org, our 24/7 online clinic, as well as phone and video, to provide our patients with the same quality care they would receive during an in-person visit. Patients can meet with their provider virtually and receive a care plan from the comfort and safety of their own homes. While these clinics transition to virtual care, other M Health Fairview clinics remain open for those whose health concerns require an in-person visit.Clinics that are virtual only as of Aug, 10 are:
Those who have an already-scheduled appointment will be contacted by their provider or clinic team for instructions. We’ll tell you whether your appointment will take place virtually or whether you should plan for an in-person visit at a different M Health Fairview clinic location.
Those who need a new appointment should continue to contact our appointment line as you normally would. Our team will help you schedule a virtual or in-person visit and provide you with the instructions you’ll need for your visit.
