May 11th - Changes to Mask Policy / Entrance Policy

Dear Patients and Parents of Marblehead Pediatrics,

“The Social Security Act Section 1135 will terminate with the end of the Covid-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) on May 11, 2023. Providers are expected to return to normal operating status and comply with the regulatory requirements for emergency preparedness with the conclusion of the PHE.”

What this means to our patients / parents / staff is that effective May 11, 2023, masks will no longer be required unless an individual voluntarily chooses to do so. All of our patients will be welcomed through the front entrance for both sick and well visits.

Our practice, however, is still committed to every individual’s health. We will be separating our front waiting area into a sick and well side. Masks will still be available to those who would like them and we will be running additional air filters in the waiting room. Our front desk may still ask patients to use the back entrance for specific cases as per our pre-PHE policies.

Thank you for your consideration regarding this matter.
