Though exposure to radiation can pose health risks, Clove uses sophisticated, portable x-ray equipment that limits this exposure to negligible levels. Clove clinics also use lead aprons and lead thyroid collars to protect doctors and patients from radiation. Finally, Clove clinics adhere to the ALARA (As Low as Reasonably Achievable) principle, as defined by the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations 10 CFR 20.1003. The principle directs medical establishments to identify and use ways to minimize the exposure of medical personnel, patients and clinical staff to radiation.
  • Water Filteration System-Clove clinics rely on reverse osmosis (RO) filtration systems to ensure the safest possible water supply.
