Residents who work at River Park on weekends and during assigned rotations have shared that these sort of preventive
and safety measure aren’t yet present at RP. Given COVID is present in our community with cases at CHH and SMMC, I
wanted to make you aware so you can reduce chances of an outbreak at RP. The residents have been told to wear N95
masks at all times and will do so at RP. I am writing with genuine concern, because should a case turn positive for COVID
at RP, without these measure in place, many staff and patients will be infected and become Ill. If you have any questions
how this was implemented at MMBH, please let me know, as RP and MMBH have similar populations. I have also cc’d
Dr. Scott Murphy, who is Deputy Medical Director at MMBH, should you have any questions re implementation. Perhaps
surprisingly, patients and staff adapted quite well to the new rules and everyone feels safer.
Sincerely,
Suzanne
