What safety precautions are being practiced in the hospital?
We are following this outbreak closely and making sure that our clinicians are kept up-to-date on the current recommendations for screening patients. Our preparation plan includes our existing infection control protocols, education for leadership and employees on the CDC’s recommendations for signs and symptoms, prevention and treatment as well as employee refresher training on use of personal protection equipment. In addition, all equipment in our therapy gym will continue to be cleaned thoroughly between each patient, social distancing will be followed with patients in the gym and dining services will be adjusted for patients and employees. All non-emergency or non-essential company travel has been halted for our employees.
