Dear Patients and Families:

I am writing to share news that 2 patients and 4 additional staff members have tested positive for COVID-19. Both patients have been relocated to the “hot unit”. Each of these staff members will recover at home until the CDC’s return to work criteria is met. We are continuing to conduct outbreak testing and will report any additional positive results.

Visitation remains available for all patients. Given the rapid spread of the Omicron variant of the COVID-19 virus, we request that visits be limited to 15 minutes in duration and ask that no children under the age of 12 visit at this time. We also remind all visitors not to visit if experiencing any cold, flu, or allergy symptoms as these are also symptoms of COVID-19.

Please feel free to reach out to me should you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Leslie Ruffner, LNHA

Administrator
