Coffee Talk w/ Samaritan Medical Center

As businesses in the North Country re-open, the Samaritan team would like to offer some advice and best practices when it comes to screening employees, encouraging proper face mask use, hand hygiene and more.  With subject matter experts in Employee Health, Quality and Infection Prevention, our team is ready to answer questions you may have about these topics.  In addition, we want to provide some guidance and clarity about COVID-19 testing for your employees – when to send for testing and what the employee can expect when tested.  Samaritan is here to help answer these questions and hopefully provide some pointers on how to put these new requirements into place for a successful re-opening to maintain the good work the entire community has done to help flatten the curve.
 
Speakers:
Michelle Place, RN, Manager of Employee Health and Safety
Karen Abare, RN, Director of Infection Prevention
Heather Clement, RN, Patient Safety Officer and COVID-19 Resource Line Coordinator

Coffee Talk is a web-based series hosted by the Greater Watertown - North Country Chamber of Commerce in response to the COVID-19 Crisis. The series serves two primary purposes. First, Coffee Talk is a place where community members can have a digital dialogue during the COVID-19 Crisis, offering a platform where people can interact in a casual conversation each week. Coffee Talk also offers an educational component. Each week, we bring on special guest speakers to answer questions on relevant topics.
