COVID-19 | Updated Information

Important Information About COVID-19

The health and safety of all patients is our number one priority. We have implemented several procedures designed to protect you and those you love, including temperature checks in the lobby, designated well waiting areas, curbside lab draws, and disinfecting techniques that are above and beyond our standard protocol.

In order to reduce your potential for exposure to the Coronavirus, while making sure that you don't experience delay in care, we are offering patients the option of a Televisit. This is an opportunity to visit with your doctor by phone, rather than in a face-to-face encounter. The only equipment required is a telephone, either mobile or landline. Simply call and let us know that you want to change an existing appointment to a Televisit, or that you would like to schedule a Televisit. You will be given a date and time to expect a call. During the call you can discuss any concerns you may have as well as order refills for most prescription drugs. This option is available for our Sheffield, Greenhill, and Express Care patients.

SCHEDULE A TELEVISIT WITH YOUR PROVIDER:

Sheffield Office Televisits - 256-383-4447

Greenhill Office Televisits - 256-272-8066

Express Care Televisits - 256-386-7774

This is a billable visit covered by Medicare and Blue Cross.

If you are experiencing fever of 100.5 or greater, cough, or shortness of breath, or if you suspect that you have been exposed to the coronavirus, call our office at one of the numbers above for assistance. Please, DO NOT come to our office or any other health care location until you have spoken, by phone, to a health care provider.

Heroes Work Here

Today, the physicians and administration at Medical Associates of the Shoals showed their appreciation for the dedication and selflessness of their staff by hosting a breakfast and red balloon celebration in their honor. Red balloons were chosen as a sign of respect for their employees as well as all workers who are continuing to do their jobs in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr. Brad McAnalley commented on the staff. “At our Sheffield clinic, Greenhill clinic, and Express Care Urgent Care, the response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been amazing cooperation and teamwork. The entire staff has worked together to make sure that our patients are cared for safely. Many employees have taken on additional responsibilities and most have made changes to the way in which they accomplish daily tasks. My partner physicians and I wanted to make sure that they know how much we appreciate them and how proud we are of them. They truly are heroes.”

Medical Associates of the Shoals is a group of six primary care physicians. Their focus is on optimizing each patient’s health by providing compassionate and quality care. In addition to their primary care practice in Sheffield, they own and manage Medical Associates of the Shoals - Greenhill, Express Care of the Shoals Urgent Care/Walk-in Clinic, and AtLast Medical Weight Loss.

The physicians are Courtney Bowen, MD; Brad McAnalley, MD, FACP; Jack McLendon, MD, FACP; Brian Richards, DO; Jeremy Thompson, MD, FAAFP; and Josh Vacik, MD, FACP.
