Many doctor’s offices have been closed for weeks and those that haven’t have seen massive cancellations. This episode is for healthcare providers and people working inside health offices. Today we’re going to share what we’re seeing across the country in terms of closures, cancellations, and plans going forward. Joining us to help you formulate a plan is Tashfeen Ekram, MD co-founder and chief medical officer of Luma Health.
