COVID-19 Precautions

LifeSpring Pediatrics wants to share with you the precautions that we have put into place for you, our patients and families, in order to give you peace of mind. Providing exemplary care for your family is our top priority, and that has informed our procedural processes. We always strive to care for you and your families as if you were our own, and we will continue to finetune our procedures and update our policies as needed based on the latest information as we receive it from the CDC, Hamilton County Health Department, and the City of Chattanooga until COVID-19 is under control.
