COVID Chronicle

There’s just something about Policies From the use of personal protective equipment, to working from home, to meetings in our facilities, and visitation, everything in a hospital and a healthcare system is managed and maintained by having clear, concise, and well vetted policies.

New Policies

Ten new policies have been created since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic to help leaders manage staff and resources, and to help staff understand the steps they need to take to stay safe at work. A group effort frequently lead by Northern Light Health’s Infection Prevention Council, these systemwide policies were written, rewritten, and reviewed by key decision makers across the system to ensure they meet our needs from Portland to Presque Isle.
