* NEW ADDITIONS FOR YOUR COVID SAFETY WHILE AT YOUR OFFICE VISIT AT WORCESTER INTERNAL MEDICINE, INC *
This summer we updated our heat and air conditioning systems with the latest Hepa Filters to filter out bacterial and viral particles, including the Covid Virus. In addition, we installed ultraviolet light equipment in the HVAC system to kill Covid Virus. Ultraviolet light is very efficient at killing Covid Virus and other threatening pathogens.
These new measures with our other Covid protocols will continue to present our patients and employees with a high level of safety in our efforts to keep you healthy for all your conditions during this crisis.click to check
