Warm Wishes and Winter Wellness
As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, we hope this season finds you and your family in good health. We have a few important updates we’d like to share with you to help keep your winter months as safe and stress-free as possible.
Flu and COVID-19 Vaccines Are In Stock
Staying up-to-date with your vaccinations is one of the best ways to stay healthy this winter. We have flu and COVID-19 vaccines available in the office. You can schedule a quick nurse visit to receive your vaccine by calling our office at (401)284-4555. We encourage everyone, especially those at higher risk, to protect themselves and their loved ones by getting vaccinated.
Results at Your Fingertips: Secure Messaging Options
We are pleased to announce that we’ve begun communicating lab and imaging results through secure text and email options. This allows for faster, more convenient access to your healthcare information. If you have recently had tests done, please keep an eye on your text messages and emails. In most cases a copy is also sent to your patient portal. If you do not receive your results within one week, please call our office to follow up.
Medication Refills: Start with Your Pharmacy
Running low on your medications? In most cases, you can request refills directly through your pharmacy—even if there are no refills listed on your bottle. Your pharmacy will contact us if a prescription renewal is needed. This helps streamline the process and ensures you receive your medication as promptly as possible. If your pharmacy indicates you need to call our office, we’re here to help.
Community Support and Resources
We know this season can bring additional challenges, and we’re committed to supporting our patients both medically and beyond. If you or someone you know is in need of electric, heating, or housing assistance during this time of year, please visit our Community Resource Page at:
https://www.osteopathicfamilymedicine.com/community-resources
You’ll find a list of local organizations and programs designed to provide help during difficult times, including energy support, housing assistance, and other essential services.
Staying Connected and Informed
We’re committed to providing you with the best care possible. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. As we work together toward a healthier winter, remember that simple preventive measures—like washing your hands frequently, staying hydrated, and eating a balanced diet—can go a long way in supporting your overall well-being.
Happy Holidays from Our Team
Our entire staff wishes you and your loved ones a safe, warm, and joyful holiday season. We’re grateful for your trust in us and look forward to supporting your health in the year ahead.
Warm regards, Dr. Way and the Osteopathic Family Medicine Team
