ABOUT HMMC HOURS OF OPERATION

In response to the changes that coronavirus and recent hurricanes have made to our way of life, Hunter McGuire clinic, like many other businesses, has undergone a series of changes to its hours of operation. Patient demand will largely determine our operational aspects.  We encourage you to contact us by phone if you have a need to be seen or just have questions about your health.  Please be assured that patient safety is our first priority and we have diligently taken major precautions to assure that patients will be evaluated and treated appropriately with regard to current pandemic conditions.


You can also contact us by email (click link below).


Our community has shown monumental heroism in working tirelessly 

through the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as hurricane recovery, despite the staggering amount of devastation and hardship. We will continue to prevail against adversity, for southwest Louisiana is a very special place filled with wonderful, kind and tough people.

SCHOOL IS OPENING SOON AND PRESENTS A NEW PHASE IN THE RECOVERY EXPECT TO SEE MORE COUGHS AND COLDS

WE EXPECT A VERY BUSY FALL AND WINTER FLU SEASON

WE MUST CONTINUE TO USE FACE MASKS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING

AS LONG AS WE PRACTICE SAFE MEASURES THINGS WILL GO WELL

IMPORTANT COVID-19 ANNOUNCEMENT

COVID-19 IS AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE WITH US FOR MANY MORE MONTHS

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS THE NEW NORMAL AND WILL BE FOR SOME TIME.

WE MUST STILL BE ON GUARD AND USE PROTECTIVE MEASURES

AT THIS POINT IT SEEMS THAT MOST PATIENTS ARE NOT HAVING SEVERE SYMPTOMS. HOWEVER, THE OLDER PATIENTS DO APPEAR TO HAVE  SYMPTOMS THAT ARE OF GREATER CONCERN. IF YOU WORK IN AN AREA WITH MANY WORKERS, OR IN HEALTH CARE, YOU MUST ASSUME THAT YOUR CHANCES OF BEING EXPOSED ARE GREATER AND SHOULD TAKE EXTRA PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID CONTACT WITH ANOTHER PERSON WHO MIGHT BE INFECTED.

TREATMENT IS DETERMINED BY HOW SICK THE PATIENT IS

DATA SEEMS TO SUGGEST THAT MANY PEOPLE WILL NOT BECOME VERY ILL. UNFORTUNATELY, THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE CAN EXPERIENCE VERY SEVERE DISEASE SYMPTOMS AND POSSIBLY DIE. THEREFORE, WE MUST ALL USE PPE MEASURES SUCH AS MASKS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING. CLOSE UP CONTACT SEEMS TO BE HOW COVID-19 IS MOST EASILY SPREAD.

IF YOU FEEL SICK

IF YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS SUCH AS FEVER, COUGH, SORE THROAT, CHILLS, OR DIARRHEA, YOU MUST ASSUME THAT YOU HAVE COVID-19. IF YOU DO HAVE SYMPTOMS, YOU MUST BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO EXPOSE YOURSELF TO OTHERS - ESPECIALLY PEOPLE WITH RISK FACTORS SUCH AS THOSE OVER 60 YEARS OLD, NURSING HOME PATIENTS AND ANYONE WITH A CHRONIC MEDICAL CONDITIION.

IF YOU WANT TO BE TESTED

IF YOU FEEL YOU MUST HAVE A COVID-19 TEST, CALL YOUR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER AND SEE IF THEY TEST FOR THE VIRUS. MAKE SURE YOU TELL YOUR PROVIDER IF YOU ARE HAVING SYMPTOMS.

DO NOT PANIC

WE ARE GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS! IF WE USE PPE SUCH AS MASKS AND WE PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING, WE CAN SIGNIFICANTLY SLOW DOWN THE SPREAD OF COVID-19.  LET'S GET IT DONE.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

image274

THE PANDEMIC CONTINUES AND HAS KILLED OVER A HALF MILLION AMERICANS.


PLEASE THINK ABOUT THE FOLLOWING:


  • COVID IS STILL OUT THERE AND INFECTING PEOPLE.


  • BE AWARE OF THE MOST VULNERABLE PEOPLE: THOSE IN NURSING HOMES, THOSE WITH CHRONIC ILLNESS AND THOSE WITH WEAKENED IMMUNE SYSTEMS.


  • PLEASE ALWAYS WEAR PPE IN PUBLIC AREAS AND PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING.


  • IT IS WISE TO WEAR A MASK IN PUBLIC - IF NOT FOR YOUR HEALTH, AT LEAST OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE HEALTH OF OTHERS.


  • IF YOU BECOME ILL, CONTACT A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER FOR ADVICE RIGHT AWAY.


  • CONTINUE TO STAY UPDATED WITH THE MOST RECENT CDC AND LOCAL HEALTH GUIDELINES.


  • TRAVEL SHOULD BE SAFE IF YOU OBSERVE PROPER PRECAUTIONS.


  • USE GOOD JUDGMENT, AS BEFORE, AND YOU SHOULD BE FINE. GET OUT AND ENJOY LIFE!

OUR POLICY ON OPIOID PRESCRIPTIONS AND SEDATIVE MEDICATIONS

image276

Because of the opioid crisis, the government closely monitors and records opioid prescriptions.

  • Prescriptions for narcotics and sedating medications, such as benzodiazepines, will be written sparingly.
  • The FDA does not condone use of narcotics and benzodiazepines simultaneously; therefore, do not expect any prescriptions for that combination.
  • Hunter McGuire Medical Center does not deliver any pain management services.
  • Because of the staggering numbers of deaths from opioid overdoses and its clear danger to public health, it is expected that patients understand and cooperate with medical provider decisions regarding pain control in patients.

Please call ahead to make sure the clinic is open. Hours are subject to change related to CORONAVIRUS, holidays, weather and other factors.
