Dear Patients and Families:

I am writing to share news that a staff member has tested positive for COVID-19 during routine testing. This individual will remain at home until the CDC’s return to work criteria have been met.

Patients who were identified as close contacts of the staff member have been placed on transmission-based precautions and will be monitored closely. Visitation is temporarily suspended for the Magnolia and Evergreen Units as we conduct the initial round of outbreak testing for the positive staff member’s close contacts. Visitation for the Dogwood Unit may continue as usual.

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

Sincerely,

 Katelyn Whittington, LNHA
Administrator
