The health and safety of CrossOver patients, volunteers, employees, and community remain a top priority, especially in light of COVID-19. CrossOver is proud to serve on the front lines, caring for our patients and community in this unprecedented time.
New! COVID-19 Community Testing at CrossOver
- CrossOver is providing on-site testing for COVID-19 to the community. You do not have to be a current patient or present with symptoms to be tested. No walk-ins. To be tested, you must schedule an appointment by calling 804-655-2794, option 6.
What We’re Doing to Prevent Exposure
- Mike Murchie, medical director, Dr. Vivian Bruzzese, infectious disease physician, and Julie Bilodeau, CEO, continue to monitor the spread and management of COVID-19 and the impact it may have on our services to the community. We are in communication with the local health departments and receiving updates from the CDC and VDH.
- As of the time of this writing, the team has made the following recommendations to protect patients, volunteers, and employees from possible infection, so those patients who depend on CrossOver as their health home can still receive services.
Information for CrossOver Patients
- Most of our appointments are being held by phone or video to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
- If you have symptoms of COVID-19 including fever, cough, shortness of breath, or fatigue, please call 804-655-2794, select your language, and choose option 6 to speak with a nurse. Our staff can advise you by phone about how to treat the virus at home and when to seek emergency care if needed. If this is an emergency, call 911 immediately.
- Everyone can help slow the spread of the virus. Wear a mask in public or when gathering with anyone outside of your household. Wash your hands often, especially before eating, after using the restroom, and when returning home. Stay home as much as possible. When in public, stay six feet or more from other people. Do not gather in groups. These practices will help keep you and others safe.

Employee and Volunteer Information
- Volunteers and employees who do not feel well should stay home. We urge all volunteers—especially those who are 65 and older or have medical conditions that may increase their risk—to seek the advice of their own healthcare clinicians about when it is advisable to return to the clinic.

Our patients are among those most vulnerable to COVID-19, its complications, and its effects on our economy. Please donate now to help us provide care for those in need now and in the future.

Información para los Pacientes de CrossOver
- La mayoría de nuestras citas se realizan por teléfono o video para evitar la propagación del COVID-19.
- Si tiene síntomas del COVID-19, tales como fiebre, tos, falta de aliento o fatiga, llame y hable con una enfermera. Nuestro personal puede asesorarlo por teléfono sobre cómo manejar el virus en el hogar y cuándo buscar atención de emergencia si es necesario. Si se trata de una emergencia, llame al 911 de inmediato.
- Todos pueden ayudar a retrasar la propagación del virus. Para proteger a los demás, siempre use una máscara en público. Lávese las manos con frecuencia, especialmente antes de comer, después de ir al baño y al regresar a casa. Quédese en casa tanto como sea posible. Cuando esté en público, manténgase a seis pies o más de distancia de otras personas. No se reúnan en grupos. Estas prácticas ayudarán a mantenerlo a usted y a otros a salvo.
