COVID-19 UPATE May 28, 2020 To our valued clients, You may have seen recent headlines such as Ontario regulated health professionals can re-open if approved by governing bodies... What exactly does this mean unfortunately, it does not mean business as usual. We have a number of health and safety requirements which MUST be met before we can open our doors again for in-person services. It is just the beginning for us. Our clinic currently remains closed as we work to fulfill all of the requirements, and make sure we are setting ourselves up to be as safe as possible for the health of both our clients and our practitioners. When we are able to open the BENEFIT of treatment must outweigh the RISK to both the client and the practitioner. It also means our schedule is going to look a little different as we work to mitigate the risk, and to respect the personal and professional needs of our practitioners. There will also be a more thorough active and passive screening process associated with appointments. You can expect to hear more about our gradual re-opening over the next couple of weeks! We miss you all and hope you continue to stay safe and healthy during this time. We look forward to bringing our services back to you in a safe and effective manner. Thank you for supporting our small business for the past 3.5 years. We look forward to many more! Please reach out via email to [email protected] with any further questions. Sincerely, The Function First team (Kayla, Scott, Michelle, Sarah and Kaitlyn)
