Published June 2, 2020 - Press Release | PDF
Physicians and other clinicians must be able to safely secure treatment for mental or other health issues, just as any other individual.

ACEP’s Position on Family Visitation During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Issued March 25, 2020 - Download the official family visitation letter for use in legal proceedings.
Emergency physicians, along with emergency nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses and others, are the front line in this pandemic. But they are also human beings, who need and deserve the comfort of their families when they are off duty.
Emergency physicians are trained in proper precautions to significantly reduce the risk to themselves, as well as their families. ACEP requests that the pandemic and the work that our colleagues are doing should not be a factor in custody or visitation disputes.
