Abstract

COVID-19 has made patients afraid to engage with providers in-person to manage acute, chronic and preventive non-COVID-related health care needs. As health care providers, we must continue to do everything within our power to address our patients’ fear of our infrastructure and the increasing barriers they are experiencing to accessing the care that they need.
