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, Zara Morgan, Director of Nursing and Operations, 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
- Before coming to the clinic for any appointment, please call 804-655-2794, after selecting your preferred language, please press 6 to be connected to the call center. 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 and 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. 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.
- Henrico new patient screening (lottery) will be held by phone and not in person. People wishing to become new Henrico Clinic patients should call 804-655-2794 on the second and fourth Fridays of the month. After selecting your preferred language, please press 6 to make a new patient screening appointment.

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.
