Harrington Physician Services: COVID-19 Policies

We’re open, safe, and ready to care for you.

You can feel safe receiving the care you need at Harrington Physician Services (HPS). We’ve got extensive protocols in place to protect our patients from contracting COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, including frequent cleaning with specialized, hospital-grade, CDC-approved disinfectants and heightened, stringent protocols for infection prevention.

For those who would prefer to see a doctor via a video conference using a smartphone or computer or via a phone call, telehealth appointments are available. If you are interested in scheduling a Telehealth appointment, please let the office know when you call to make your appointment. We will do our best to accommodate your request if a Telehealth appointment is appropriate for the type of care you need.  Learn More
