Coronavirus Updates

We are reaching out to our highest risk patients 75 and older per NJ Department of Health recommendations, and as our allocations and capacity allow. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Please note: We recommend that you register with vaccination location options, including state and local vaccine sites and retail pharmacies listed on the New Jersey COVID-19 Information Hub.

Coronaviruses were first identified in the 1950s and generally cause mild upper respiratory illness characterized by cough, fever, and/or body aches. This is very similar to most viral illnesses including flu and the common cold. 

SMG currently offers COVID tests based on clinical priorities.  In order to minimize delays in care of those who need it most, testing is available based on clinical priority.  

Summit Medical Group Urgent Care Centers are for urgent medical issues.  Priority Is given to those who have symptoms needing urgent medical attention.

SMG continues to offer access to patients needing care both related and non-related to COVID-19. We’re keeping our facilities safe to provide essential preventive care, chronic care and acute care by continuing to do things in a proactive and thoughtful way to ensure the safety and well-being of our patients and health care teams.

We have rapidly expanded our ability to offer telemedicine visits with a provider to help make it easy for patients to seek care while limiting exposure for all health care workers and patients to coronavirus (COVID-19).

While some medications can alleviate symptoms related to COVID-19, there is no medicine that can offer a cure. Ongoing studies are being conducted to determine which drugs work best in which patients while the race for a safe and effective vaccine continues.
