    Ascension Via Christi announces enhanced safety measures to prevent virus spread

    0
    By KMAN Staff on March 16, 2020 Local News, Manhattan

    Ascension Via Christi announced Monday some added safety measures in response to the novel coronavirus outbreak.

    Hospital volunteers have been told not to come for their scheduled shifts until further notice. This is being done to limit patient exposure by limiting the number of people in the hospital.

    Additionally the hospital says it’s suspending hospital-based health education classes, support groups and tours. On-site and off-site hiring events have been suspended and all interviews will take place over the telephone rather than in person. In the hospital cafeterias buffet-style offerings, salad bars and condiments including salad dressings are being replaced with pre-packaged options, utensil dispensers are being replaced with touchless versions. Fountain beverages continue to be available, but refills are not.

    Any patient with urgent care needs are encouraged to consider virtual visits through Ascension Online Care, for the reduced cost of $20 through the month of March when you enter the code HOME.
