​An Update for Clients of the Industrial Medical Group of Santa Maria Valley.

The Industrial Medical Group of Santa Maria Valley is considered an essential business. As such IMG is able to

provide services for employers and employees during this rapidly evolving situation.

IMG provides assessment of injured workers. This can avoid a visit to our already impacted Emergency

Departments and in turn can avoid potential inadvertent exposure to those with infectious disease.

IMG will continue to provide regulatory and screening services such as drug screens, breath alcohol testing and

employment screening.

Our staff is working hard to ensure the health and safety of our patients. The waiting room has been altered to

avoid close contact with others. Staff is working to adjust the schedule so that fewer patients are in the building at

the same time. Screening for illness is performed at presentation and individuals with suspected disease are

referred as recommended by public health authorities.

Currently we are operating using normal hours of 7:30 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday. Please do not

hesitate to call our office if there are questions.

IMG is requesting that in the circumstance of concern for a COVID-19 infection that you call our office prior to

presenting so that appropriate arrangements and direction can be made. Due to nationwide shortage IMG does

not have the material to test for this virus at this time.

Thank you to all who support our small business and our clients. IMG will continue to update you as further

information and guidance is provided to us by our public health authorities.

Respectfully,

Paul Christensen MD

Medical Director

Industrial Medical Group of Santa Maria Valley
