Patients will initially speak to a Registered Nurse, and if appropriate, the clinic will offer video and phone visits with a provider. The virtual team will recommend and facilitate pathways for care and order COVID-19 tests when clinically appropriate. HPH physicians, advance practice providers and registered nurses will staff the clinic.
