Mask Requirement 

As a healthcare provider, we monitor COVID-19 community transmission rates (the measure of the presence and spread of COVID-19), according to the Centers for Disease (CDC) Control and Prevention COVID Data Tracker. Until further notice, masks are required at all Christie Clinic locations in Douglas County and Moultrie County; masks are optional at all other Christie Clinic facilities. Additional information can be found here; please note, as a healthcare facility we must reference the Community Transmission level, not the Community level.

Coronavirus Visitor Policy

In order to protect the health of our communities, and as a safety precaution to prevent the risk of spreading COVID-19, we have instituted visitor restrictions in accordance with recommendations from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Patients being seen at any Christie Clinic location may be accompanied by no more than one adult caretaker. Additional visitors will be asked to return to their car. Some departments may have implemented a zero visitor policy. Please follow instructions given by the department when scheduling your appointment.
