COVID-19 Statement:

  • Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our office remains temporarily closed to the public.  ​​
​
  • We are exclusively offering telemedicine (HIPAA-complaint audio / video) services to our patients during this time via the DOXY.ME platform.  
 
  • As a result, we do not prescribe any controlled medications (stimulant medication for ADHD, sleep medication like Ambien, or benzodiazepines like Ativan, Xanax, Klonopin, Valium) to any new patients, as they have not been seen by Dr. Fortuchang in person. This is due to a federal law, The Ryan Haight Act, which prohibits physicians from prescribing controlled medications via telemedicine without an in-person, office visit.  
 
  • We are accepting new patients under the age of 65 years.  **Must be residents of the state of GA, since visits are conducted via telemedicine.
 
  •  Patients must be in the state of GA during their telemedicine visits.  
 
  • ​We hope to be able to resume conducting in-office appointments soon. 

We thank you for your interest in The Fort Christian Psychiatric Center.  

Please call us at 770-376-6726 with any questions.

​Be encouraged, God bless you, please consider being vaccinated against COVID-19, and please continue wearing a mask when indicated!

So do not fear, for I am with you;
    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

In addition to doing our part to reduce transmission, we want to ensure that our patients (existing & future) are equipped with proper information to protect themselves and the people around them.

  Here are a few tips from the WHO and CDC to help protect yourself from COVID-19:
 
  1. If you are sick, please stay at home and refrain from contact with other individuals
  2. Wash hands often & thoroughly (CDC says a minimum of 20 secs) with warm, soapy water
  3. If soap and water are not readily available, then use a hand sanitizer of at least 60% alcohol
  4. Maintain a distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing / sneezing
  5. Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth
