DIAGNOSING AND TREATING FLU AND COLDS IN THE COVID-19 ENVIRONMENT
SLV Health
Amy Blakeslee, SLVH Certified Physician Assistant, reviews an x-ray of a patient’s lungs. She and the team offer medical advice over the phone for a wide variety of ailments. During this season of allergies, colds, flu, and continued exposure to the contagious COVID-19, they diagnose and offer treatment plans to everyone who calls the clinic.

This first line of patient care during a pandemic allows for rapid diagnosis while limiting exposure to other patients and staff. Blakeslee commented, “I want to ensure providers, staff, and patients that our scope of care reaches beyond just suspected coronavirus symptoms. The public can feel confident that our medical advice is thorough and individualized for each patient.”
The current SLV Health Respiratory Clinic team members are Amy Blakeslee, PA-C, Tiffanie Hoover, ACNP-C, Bethany Caton, ACNP-C, Rebecca Sours, MSN, NP, Dawn Arellano, RN, Andrea Garcia, RN, Chelsey Jay, Cert Med Assistant, and Stephanie Molina, Cert Med Assistant. The clinic is located on the east side of the 2115 Stuart Avenue Clinic in Alamosa.
