The health and safety of our clients is our top priority.

We want to do everything we can to help reduce the transmission of COVID-19.

Family 1st Medical asks that all patients and visitors bring a non-medical mask to wear when entering any of our locations.

Please remember that masks are not a replacement for physical distancing so it’s still necessary to maintain a distance of two metres (six feet) where possible.

It is also important to continue frequent hand washing, practice respiratory etiquette and avoid touching your mask and face.

Thank you for your cooperation as we work together to protect our families, our communities and our most vulnerable.
