Our Twin Falls medical & chiropractic clinics are currently open to treat acute conditions and provide essential care. We are trying to to do our part to lessen the load of non-critical cases at the hospital and urgent care clinics. However, we are mindful of the precautions everyone must take to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. When we aren't providing care, we are at home.
Staying home and doing your part to support social distancing is one of the best ways to fight COVID-19. It isn't easy, especially if you have children at home. Fortunately, many entertainment and educational resources are available for you to occupy the down time. We have compiled a list of some of the best resources available online. Most of them are free but some require a registration.
We want to keep this list as fresh as possible over the next few weeks. If you have any suggestions for us, please email us a link and we will get the list updated. We would love for you to share this list with your family, friends, and neighbors. Remember, we are all in this together!
