Now we have been actively screening sufferers for COVID-19 since February and applied strict an infection management procedures and use of protecting tools which have met or exceeded federal tips. Sufferers who current signs or check constructive for COVID-19 shall be receiving remedy in separate clinics or shifts to assist shield our sufferers, workers, and doctor companions. Moreover, we’re offering emotional help by means of our devoted workforce of specialty care advocates and social staff, in addition to increasing telehealth choices for the advantage of our sufferers,” mentioned Brad Puffer, a spokesman for Fresenius.

It’s a aggravating scenario for everybody, together with healthcare staff. 

Mandy Hale with Davita says she’s happy with her workforce. 

“I’m bursting with delight on the response of all of our clinicians. Our groups are altering their schedules and dealing their lives round taking care of sufferers. They’re displaying up on daily basis. This is able to be our nurses, our affected person care technicians, dietitians, social staff, our administrative assistants, our managers, you identify it.”
