Happy 4th of July! Remember to celebrate safely and responsibly! 🇺🇸
A recent study of more than 24,000 adult patients with COVID-19 found that 25% had loss of smell. That is more than the number of patients with shortness of breath (23%)!
Stay safe everyone!

Welcome to “Seven Days of SPA Safety”

Day 7: We acquired this UV light “saber” to vanquish those viral invaders. COVID-19 is no match for this ultimate room sterilizer.
The force is strong with us!

Day 6: Sterilizing the air and all surfaces is an important step to getting rid of COVID-19. Electrolyzed water can be used to create a safe but highly effective virus killing compound called hypochlorous acid (HClO). Using a fogging machine, our exam rooms are sterilized with HClO after every patient. Don’t worry, HClO is safe enough to be used by restaurants to sanitize food and countertops, and it is used by eye doctors to cleanse the eyelids!

Day 5: Hand washing for at least 20 seconds is an important way that YOU can prevent the spread of COVID-19. Upon entering our office, you will be instructed to wash your hands at the hand washing station.
2021 is officially here!
As we say goodbye to a year that turned our world upside down, SPA would like to take a moment to thank everyone in the community who instilled their trust in us despite these challenging times. We have worked very hard to keep our offices safe and with minimal disruption for our patients throughout this pandemic. Also, in partnership with St. Luke’s, our physicians and staff have already begun receiving COVID-19 vaccinations!
As we look forward to 2021, we remain grateful for the privilege of caring for so many people in our local communities and beyond.
This year, we will continue to grow in order to better serve our patients by providing state-of-the art care in ENT and Allergy.
Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
Specialty Physician Associates
