16th Street Acupuncture
Dear Clients,
We have decided to close the office until this health crisis passes. We think it’s in all our best interests to stay in, stay healthy and stay safe. We will be here on the other side of this health crisis and look forward to treating you all again. We will keep you updated as soon as we feel it’s safe to open our doors.
If you would like to support our business during this time we have gift certificates for sale on our website which you can use for yourself and/or others. We are also selling discounted packages 5 treatments for $500 and 10 treatments for $850. Please contact Erika if you are interested.
…and if you have some time of your hands and would like to give us a review on YELP or Google we would really appreciate it!
All the Best in Health,
Erika and The Team
16th Street Acupuncture
As of now, we are open. Please check back for any operational changes. We will be sending daily informational emails regarding appointments.
Like everyone else in the world, we are closely monitoring news surrounding COVID-19 (the Coronavirus), which has now been labeled a pandemic by the World Health Organization. We wanted to take this opportunity to assure you that 16th St Acupuncture takes the safety and well-being of our patients and employees very seriously. The situation is changing daily, and we are watching it closely so we can be prepared to take all proper precautions to make sure everyone feels safe.
While the CDC and related government agencies have said that we can continue our daily routines, it is important to stay vigilant and provide the best environment in our clinic, so that you can continue to be treated with peace of mind.
Our day to day cleaning procedures are already very comprehensive, but given the current situation, we are increasing our in-place processes to keep our facility a safe and welcoming environment for all patients and staff. Along those lines, we have increased our professional cleaning schedules, updated and increased our in-house cleaning by current staff to clean and sanitize frequently touched surfaces, and have stocked up on our regular medical supplies.
We ask you to please wash your hands upon entering the space. Also, we please ask you DO NOT come in if you have been sick over the past 2 weeks, if you have been around someone who has been sick, or if you’ve travelled on a cruise ship or overseas.
