Lone Star Family Health Center is continuing to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and taking extra steps within our clinics to help ensure the health and safety of our community, patients and staff. All locations are open and we are testing for COVID-19 at our Conroe clinic location.

Safety measures currently in place at all clinics

• Screening all patients and staff for symptoms
• Sending all patients and staff with symptoms to our testing location in Conroe
• Requiring staff and all patients and visitors 2 years of age and older to wear face masks or cloth face coverings within the clinics and exam rooms. If a patient or visitor does not have a mask or cloth face covering, a face mask will be provided to them. If a patient or visitor is unwilling to wear one, they will be offered a virtual visit, depending on the nature of their visit.
• Increased cleaning and disinfecting of clinics
• Requesting patients to limit the number of guests they bring with them to the clinic
• Providing virtual visits for certain patients
