Indirect care from Dr. Sullivan, delivered by her physician assistants, is daily and ongoing.
All 6000+ patients, including our most immune deficient, have done well with Covid, with only one suspected Covid hospitalization reported to us to date. This is not by chance and is assuredly due to patient adherence to Vitamin D3 supplementation and their personal action plans.
