ANNOUNCEMENTS at Chelmsford & Dracut Pediatrics

Chelmsford & Dracut Pediatrics clinical leaders have determined it is safe to shift from a mandatory to an optional masking policy at all facilities across our health system beginning Friday, May 12, 2023. This decision is aligned with our statewide clinical community and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, and many of our peer institutions have implemented a similar policy.

• Have a fever or other flu-like symptoms
• Fever of chills
• Cough, congestion, or runny nose
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• New skin rash (with fever)
• You are diagnosed with or exposed to COVID-19 within 10 days of an appointment. 

Masks will still be available at our offices. These stations are located at our reception locations. Nurses and providers may also provide masks when necessary. Our mask can be worn by itself or over your home mask.

• If you would like to request that clinical staff mask during your visit, please let our reception team know.

Please review the frequently asked questions document for additional information regarding this new policy.

Please note: Broader masking may be needed again in the future. We will inform you if our policies change.

If you have questions or concerns, please ask for the office manager. We hope you have a healthy and safe spring.
