How are
you feeling
today?
Check in with your co-workers, friends, family and
neighbors. Ask them, “How are you feeling today?”
Someone you know may be delaying important
emergency care, chronic care or emotional care.
Remind them to get the care they need.
Remind them to reconnect with their doctor about ongoing care needs,
and that delaying care could affect their health in a negative way.
Remind them to ask about emotional health needs and health concerns
that might be weighing on them.
At Ascension Michigan, appointments are available with strict
precautions in place for your safety in our care. Doctors are offering
virtual visits. And when your friends and family need care more urgently,
our emergency rooms and urgent care clinics are open and ready.
