Due to the global AWS outage, we are unable to receive SMS text messages at this time (UPDATE: as of 7:30am EST, it seems that phone calls are starting to come through!).
But never fear! Current patients can still reach us via:
📱Spruce Messenger, and 💻 the patient portal. We will keep you updated here until full phone service is restored.
