AIMA Functional Medicine is happy to share our current face mask policy:
Effective 4/01/2023: Face masks are optional for visitors, non-infectious patients, and vaccinated staff and students.
Face masks will still be required in our facility:
- For anyone with respiratory symptoms including sneezing, runny nose, or coughing
- For anyone with respiratory infection, including COVID-19
- For anyone who has been exposed to COVID-19 in the past ten days
- For unvaccinated staff and students

If you are sneezing, coughing, or have a fever, please stay home. Seek medical assistance as needed, and always call 9-1-1 for life-threatening emergencies.
AIMA Functional Medicine is a healthcare facility that promotes prevention and wellness, and we strive to keep our patients well and to help them prevent illness whenever possible. We see individuals who are more at risk to become severely ill with common respiratory infections and transmissible diseases, and it is for this reason that we may ask you to wear a face mask inside our facility.
Face masks will always be provided for anyone who wishes to wear one and for those that remain at the greatest risk of severe illness from respiratory infection including senior adults, people with weakened immune systems, people with chronic health conditions (such as heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, and obesity), and medically fragile individuals.
Online Check-In is required within 48 hours and no later than 24 hours prior to scheduled appointments. We ask that you use hand sanitizer upon arrival and let us know if anything has changed since your Check-In.
We remain committed to your health and safety.
CDC Standard Precautions and NH Universal Best Practices utilized to mitigate risk of COVID-19 and other transmissible diseases are routine everyday practice at AIMA. The level of community transmission of COVID-19 in Nashua varies.
AIMA Functional Medicine is following CDC, State of New Hampshire, and City of Nashua Public Health Department guidelines for public safety. Our policy is subject to change at any time and in accordance with these recommendations.
We follow stringent protocols for safety and disinfection, and we continue to space appointments to reduce waiting room traffic. We are happy to always do our best to keep you safe and healthy. Thank you for continuing to partner with us at AIMA Functional Medicine for your functional medicine and integrative care. We look forward to seeing you soon!

What infection control procedures do you follow? The CDC Standard Precautions and NH Universal Best Practices utilized to mitigate risk of COVID-19 and other transmissible diseases that routine everyday practice at AIMA Functional Medicine include: encouraging use of face masks, good and frequent hand hygiene, cleaning and disinfection of frequently touched surfaces between patients, limiting shared objects, pre visit Check-In and health screening, telehealth services, social distancing and reducing physical contact, spacing of appointments to reduce waiting room traffic, improving ventilation, and isolation or quarantine when deemed necessary.
Will I have to do the Check-In before every visit? Yes.

Please thoughtfully complete and submit it to ensure all questions are answered and all concerns are addressed at the time of your visit.
