Active Evolution Studio

The Pines Pizza & Pub in Cedar Rapids now has a little free library! They are also doing a summer reading challenge; see below for details.
As a concussion rehab clinician, I challenge any and all of my patients to read a little bit each day as part of their recovery. 5 minutes at a time may be all someone can tolerate after a concussion, and that's okay! It's just a great way to stay mentally active and work on getting those eyes to work together. Reach out if you have any questions about The Pines reading challenge. Good luck!

STARTING TODAY:
THE PINES SUMMER READING CHALLENGE

Eye Care Offers A Window To Athletes’ Concussions DeAnn Fitzgerald ’81, OD ’84 of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has become well known for her focus on using optometry as a way to manage athletes’ concussions. She has developed protocols for young athletes who suffer head injuries, and her work has been widely shared and emulated around the country.

Beginning Monday, May 4th, Cedar Rapids Vision and Motion and Active Evolution Studio will be open by appointment. There will be several changes to the way our office operates to follow the recommendations of the CDC. Our first concern is for the health and safety of our patients, doctors, and staff.

1. Our doors will remain locked during business hours. Patients will be let in for appointments. We will check your temperature and ask about symptoms upon arrival.
2. Our appointment schedule will be modified to reduce the number of patients in the office at once.
3. We ask that you not bring additional members of your family with you to appointments. One adult may accompany minor children or a caregiver of an adult patient.
4. All staff will wear masks and we will require patients to wear masks (we will provide one if you do not have one). Gloves will be used when indicated.
5. Staff will be disinfecting surfaces and equipment between every patient.
6. While you are in the office, please practice social distancing whenever possible and remain 6 feet away from other patrons.
8. If you have a cough, fever, shortness of breath or have been directly exposed to someone diagnosed with COVID-19, we ask that you remain home and reschedule your appointment.

Please call 319-364-2311 to schedule an appointment.

Update: Due to the continued spread of COVID-19 and the recommendations of the CDC, we will remain closed through May 3, 2020. Phones will still be answered at Dr. Fitzgerald & Associates Monday through Friday 8 am to 5 pm.

Cedar Rapids Vision in Motion and Active Evolution Studio are temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic effective March 21, 2020.

This decision has been made at the recommendation of the CDC and with the desire to preserve the health, safety, and well-being of our country, community, our patients, and staff. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.

Our tentative plan at this time is reopen on Monday, April 6th, but we will reassess the situation and keep you up to date.

If you have emergency eye care needs (eye infections, eye injuries, sudden loss of vision), you can call Dr. Fitzgerald & Associates at 319-366-3500 Monday through Friday 8 am to 5 pm to determine if you need to be seen.

Please stay safe and healthy!
