At this time, Northern Pines is offering a hybrid approach to services, including telehealth, and limited in person services with masks and distancing. However, as risks associated with COVID-19 increase, services may be primarily offered via telehealth (video conference) to promote client and staff safety. Therefore, in-person services may not be available at this time. If you have questions or concerns, please let your primary provider know or call us at 833-316-0698.
