To All Dobson Healthcare Clients and Families,
As you probably know, earlier today, Governor Whitmer issued a Stay Home, Stay Safe Order through April 13th to all non-essential businesses at midnight tonight. Dobson Healthcare Services is considered essential business and as part of the critical infrastructure, we will remain open and continue to provide care to our home-bound clients.

- Cover your moth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing;
- Avoid handshakes;
- Avoid contact with sick people who are sick; and

What to do if a concussion is suspected- Remove the athlete from play.
- Ensure the athlete is evaluated by a health care professional experienced in evaluating concussions.
- Inform the athlete’s parents or guardians about the possible concussion.
- Keep the athlete out of play the day of the injury and until a health care professional experienced in evaluating concussion says they are symptom-free and okay to return to play.
Winter is an exciting time. It’s also a challenging time to stay active. Many of us participate in winter sports, such as skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, hockey and snowmobiling.- If you or a loved one participates in winter sports, you can take precautions to prevent head injuries during play:
- Wear a properly fitted helmet that is appropriate for the activity. Helmets can go a long way toward preventing or reducing the severity of a TBI.
- Set a no hits to the head or other dangerous play rule for hockey and other contact sports.
- Take lessons. If you’re going skating, skiing, or snowboarding, basic lessons will help you learn how to fall more safely and less often.
