Face coverings will still be required in all clinical areas and when entering the facility.
“We will continue to review local, state, and national governmental guidelines and adapt our procedures accordingly,” the center said in a news release. “As always, your health, safety, and wellness are a top priority to us.”
The center is located at 626 Bethany Road in DeKalb.
