COVID-19

To our communities:

Mariposa is here to serve you during this difficult time. Our clinics are open during regular hours; however, we have implemented several changes to keep our patients and employees safe. These changes include the following:

• Routine medical appointments for physicals or well-visits have been canceled. Medical appointments are available for individuals who are ill or require follow-up care.
• Routine Dental appointments have also been canceled; however, Dental appointments are available for patients experiencing pain
• All people entering our buildings will be screened outside the building before entering. If you are experiencing symptoms consistent with COVID-19, your provider will come outside to see you. Patients entering the building can be accompanied by one (1) additional person.
• You can now consult with your medical provider through tele-medicine, rather than coming to the provider’s office. This is an important option for you to obtain your routine care or to determine if you should come to Mariposa to be seen. To schedule a telemedicine appointment, contact our call center at 520.281.1550, the same as you would for a regular appointment.
• For telemedicine patients requiring lab services, we have implemented drive through lab draws. Your provider will give you instructions on how to access this service during your telemedicine visit.
• Our Nogales Pharmacy is open. Prescriptions continue to be delivered to our locations in Rio Rico, Tubac and Patagonia. Home delivery is also available under certain circumstances
