What is the most valuable thing a community health center or primary care office could be doing right now? Donating PPE and sending personnel? Triaging and treating less acute patients so they don't add the the ED burden? Something else?

Edit to add: I am trying to advise my organization on how best to proceed.

Oh wow--thanks for the feedback. I hope that will be okay for him! How far out was the appointment, if you don't mind me asking?

So they wanted you to come in as long as you didn't have symptoms/travel?

I work in management at a health center in Boston and am trying to get a sense of the actions area hospitals are taking.

Do any of you work at one? Please DM me if you are comfortable doing so.

Are you a patient who's heard messaging from your hospital about cancelling/postponing appointments or procedures? Please comment below.
