Important COVID-19 and Physical Therapy Information
At Mercy Outpatient Rehab Clinic, there is nothing more important to us than your health and wellbeing. The coronavirus (COVID-19) is a rapidly evolving situation and we are working diligently to keep patients, staff, referral partners, and our community updated on our policies and prevention preparedness.
We’re following guidance from the Center for Disease Control (CDC), state, and local health officials to ensure our rehab facilities and clinical teams are taking the proper actions to keep everyone safe and healthy. We hope that this information, will help you make a clear decision to continue your care plan with us during this time. The following protocols are in place:
• Patient screening:
All patients will be screened upon arrival of their appointment time to make sure they’re not exhibiting symptoms. If a patient is presenting with COVID-19 symptoms, they will be advised to return home and contact their primary physician.
• Staff screening:
All employees will be screened for COVID-19 daily. Those presenting any level of symptoms will return home and follow up with their physician before returning to work.
• Health hygiene protocols:
Ongoing reinforcement to all staff regarding hand washing and other preventative measures for equipment and supplies are in place and being reinforced.
As a trusted and leading health care provider in North Miami Beach and Broward County, it’s our goal to ensure everyone’s safety. You can continue receiving care at one of our two locations with the confidence that we have taken every precaution necessary regarding your health and safety.
For patients visiting our clinics, we ask that you please limit the number of people who accompany you to your appointments, unless they are necessary for transportation or assistance. If you’re not feeling well, please call your primary doctor and also contact our office and we will be happy to re-schedule your appointment.

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
