Lone Tree Pediatrics

Be aware that we will not write letters of exemption for children whose schools require masks in alignment with the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Lone Tree Pediatrics strongly endorses the use of safe and effective infection control procedures to protect children and adolescents. These measures include the correct and consistent use of a well-fitting mask. The CDC has issued guidance that includes universal indoor masking for all staff, students and visitors to schools K-12 regardless of vaccine status. When you wear a mask you protect yourself and others, especially if you are not vaccinated or are around others who are not vaccinated. Masks can safely be worn by all children ages 2 years of age and older with rare exceptions that include:
• Severe autism
• Developmental delays
• Limited physical mobility
• Structural abnormalities of the head and neck
For our part, we continue to be committed to keeping our patients and staff safe in our office. We require anyone two and over to be masked inside our clinics. We continue to have stringent cleaning procedures between patients and continue to screen everyone for symptoms so we can safely care for all our families.
