The Women's Health Group

As Oklahoma contemplates moving to Phase 3 opening guidelines, The Women's Health Group is "uniquely charged with protecting both the health of those we serve and the health of our caregivers." As an essential part of the front line to stopping the community spread of COVID-19, healthcare facilities should maintain compliance with CDC guidelines regarding limiting visitation to our facility. This includes social distancing. While WHG looks forward to a time when we can al...low visitors to accompany patients to our office, at this time we will be continuing our current policy of no visitors with the patient. Unfortunately, the footprint of our office limits the number of people we can have in our office and comply with social distancing guidelines. As always our first priority is the medical care of our patients. We really understand that our obstetric patients have partners or grandparents that would love to attend prenatal visits. We sincerely hope that time comes soon! WHG is doing our best to protect everyone who comes to our office and everyone that works here. WHG hasn't forgotten our over-65 patients. We are anxious to get updated guidance for our patients who are over the age of 65 and need their well woman exams.
