A Letter to Greenbrook TMS NeuroHealth Centers Patients and Staff
By Bill Leonard
Founder and CEO of Greenbrook TMS NeuroHealth Centers
As our nation works to contain the spread of COVID-19 and care for those who have become ill, nearly every aspect of daily life has been affected. Each change— whether in work, school or family—produces stress on its own. Multiple changes, happening unexpectedly and simultaneously, can cause significant distress and, left unaddressed, can worsen symptoms of depression and OCD.
All of us at Greenbrook recognize that treating depression and OCD are more important now than ever before. We are committed to providing you the care you need, and so I want to share information on steps we are taking to ensure that you’ll have access to your Greenbrook care team and to your TMS therapy treatment during this challenging and unprecedented national emergency:
At our centers:
- Enhanced cleaning protocols
- Guidance to staff regarding understanding risk factors and symptoms of COVID-19, both to protect their own health and to recognize circumstances where it may be appropriate to ask a symptomatic patient not to come in
Expanding options for virtual care:
- Launch of a text messaging platform enabling you to stay in touch with your care team
- Creating a dedicated, private Facebook group for current patients where our licensed psychiatrists can share information and resources
- An opportunity to ask self-care questions via social media using the hashtag #AskGreenbrookTMS. Our care team will post responses to the most frequently asked questions
We are honored that you’ve entrusted us to provide TMS therapy, and so we take seriously our responsibility to provide you with the best possible treatment experience. Our current national emergency presents uncharted waters for all of us—and we are here for you. If you would like to share specific feedback or suggestions for how we can better support you, please feel free to contact me directly at [email protected] (specially created email for this purpose).
