Coronavirus is on the forefront of the news and most American's minds right now. As a United Business Association member, you have access to MeMD© Telehealth Service available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. As you navigate how to prevent the spread of COVID-19, MeMD© providers are here to provide clinical expertise and communication support.
It is important that employers proactively communicate with their employees about best practices to prevent the spread of germs from person to person. Those best practices can be found on the CDC's website at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html. If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, you can reach out to a MeMD© provider from the comfort of your own home for medical advice and direction. Seeing a MeMD© provider from home will help you avoid crowded waiting rooms where germs are easily spread.
Rest assured that MeMD© has been on the forefront of member communications amid this situation. Already a member? Don't wait to set up your account when you are sick. Get your account set up now.
