I hope you are doing well. There are no significant COVID-19 updates to report this week. Effective today, all staff in the Center are required to be vaccinated for COVID-19.  We remain committed to providing a safe environment and peace of mind to those we serve in this way. We encourage you to become vaccinated as well as we are seeing an uptick in positivity in our community.

County Positivity Rate:  Increased to 5.5%.
Testing Frequency for Staff and Patients: Unvaccinated staff are tested weekly based on the county positivity rate. Patients and staff may be tested as needed based on symptoms, exposure, or during an outbreak.
PPE: The supply remains adequate. Staff receive ongoing education on appropriate PPE utilization.
Visitation: Virtual, outdoor and scheduled indoor visitation are all currently available.

As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.

Sincerely,
