Patient Portal, Flu Vaccines, and COVID-19 updates
Helios is now back to our original business hours. We are still focusing on telehealth (phone or video) appointments for the safety of our patients and staff. There are rare instances when in-person visits are more appropriate. In-office appointments must be approved by provider prior to scheduling. Masks are mandatory for all staff and patients of Helios. In an effort to maintain a clean, safe environment the office is cleaned frequently and three high power medical-grade air purifiers are running continuously. You can reach us by phone Monday through Friday or through our Patient Portal anytime.
We are happy to announce that our patient portal and electronic medical record system are up and running. We assure you that the benefits of this patient portal will be worth taking a few minutes to activate your account. Please contact the staff at Helios by phone or email to request your login information then visit Power2Patient.net to update your account! Here a few examples of the many things you can do on the portal:
Send messages and questions directly to Helios practitioners and staff
Order Supplements
E-sign documents
Request medication refills
View lab results
Schedule appointments for consultations and infusions (if your order is up to date)
That means no more phone tag, voicemails, or long hold times! ; )
Flu Vaccinations
We have ordered this year’s flu vaccinations and they will arrive soon. Once again we will have Fluzone preservative-free vaccine for kids & adults and Fluzone High Dose for adults over 65. Please contact us to schedule an appointment to get your flu shot.
Chinese Medicine for your Sanity & Immunity
Keeping your sanity while optimizing your immune system is the name of the game these days. Stress, worry and anxiety deplete our reserves and dampen immune response. A simple yet powerful application of acupuncture and customized herbal medicine can help you remain balanced and healthy when the world is beyond our control.
For overall health maintenance a monthly session of acupuncture shows an increase in heart rate variability which is direct measure of a decrease in physiological stress. As a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, I blend nutritional advice, acupuncture, supplements and herbal medicine in order to help you heal and STAY well!
One herbal supplement that needs to be on everyone’s shelf encapsulated and on everyone’s dinner plate are various water-extracted mushrooms. Duanwood Reishi is royalty as far as immune support, as it balances immune response instead of it running full throttle and wearing itself down. Our apothecary also sells a 5 Mushroom Blend that includes reishi that delivers support to your heart, lungs, liver and brain. They are a non-negotiable choice for support during COVID-19.
I look forward to helping you dial up your chill-factor, while invigorating your immunity.
Warmly,
Margaret Hampton, DACM
