At Refuge Acupuncture we are committed to ensuring the safety and comfort of our patients and essential workers. As the work of acupuncturists is hands-on, our practitioners will follow the standard practice of handwashing before and after seeing every patient. It is also a standard practice at Refuge to use disposable needles, so the needles used on you have not been used on any other patients. We ensure that the environment, including all surfaces that can be touched, are absolutely sterile.

We request that our patients wear masks when visiting Refuge in compliance with Colorado’s current mask orders. If you’ve been having any flu-like symptoms, we request that you refrain from visiting until at least 24-hours after the symptoms have passed. In the clinic, patients are asked to follow safety precautions including washing their hands and social distancing when possible. We advise patients to avoid touching their faces after touching any surfaces and not to cover their faces with their hands while coughing or sneezing. We recommend that patients not bring guests to their appointment and if they do, they should wait in the car. This is to reduce congestion inside the building.
