Please continue to follow universal precautions of washing your hands, not touching your face or mouth, and practicing social distancing. No shaking hands or hugging.
Remember if you have symptoms of the flu or COVID-19 such as coughing, fever, and shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, please call us to make an appointment or if your symptoms are severe call 911 or go to the emergency room.
Please check our website and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram at caresouthla for the latest updates.
Again, your well being is our number one concern. We will continue to follow the guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and state and local officials and keep you posted on any changes.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation. We will get through this together!
If you have any questions, please calls us at (225) 650-2000.

- Staff should limit visits from non-essential visitors like Pharmaceutical Reps
