As a requirement from from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Stonehill Communities Health Center continues to conduct twice weekly testing of all health center employees for COVID-19, in addition to the previous testing done following an exposure or when symptoms were present.

Testing results as of 11/10/20:

As an additional precaution there is resident surveillance testing on each unit where employees who were found positive worked. Please remember all staff are screened for symptoms and have their temperature taken before they begin their shift. All staff are practicing good hand hygiene and wearing appropriate personal protective equipment such as masks and goggles or face shields (gloves and gowns where appropriate).
