For the protection of our patients who have not or cannot receive the COVID vaccine, we respectfully ask you to reschedule your appointment if you or a family member has recently tested positive for COVID, or have significant COVID symptoms for which we would recommend testing.
We continue to require masks in the clinic. Mask wearing has proven to be an effective way to prevent spreading a variety of germs to others. This applies to COVID-19 as well as a wide variety of other communicable diseases. Wearing masks helps to make the clinic accessible for all patients, including the immunocompromised.
We evaluate our health and safety policies monthly and will periodically revisit our masking policy, but currently do not foresee an end to mask use in the clinic. If you are unable to wear a mask, please let our staff know and we will be happy to make accommodations.
Thank you – Dr. Gretchen Moen
At Dakota Child and Family Clinic, we believe that every person has the right to high-quality, patient-centered care, regardless of their ability to pay.
We are a Nurse Practitioner clinic. Formed and governed by patients and families, Dakota Child and Family Clinic is a Minnesota nonprofit corporation dedicated to promoting health in Dakota County, MN, and the surrounding areas.
Dakota Child and Family Clinic (DCFC) strives to bring quality health care to our community while removing as many barriers as possible. In order to expand our reach we often partner with community organizations on projects and by sharing space. While DCFC believes in loving and supporting all community members, we acknowledge that some of our community partners have differing values. The views of our partners do not always reflect our own.
We understand that the world is constantly changing and we work with our Board of Directors and DEI team to monitor our partner’s values and weigh that against the impact that can be made by partnering with them.
