Patients with life-limiting medical conditions are especially vulnerable to COVID-19, influenza and other infectious diseases. The St. Croix Hospice Safe+Care Promise is our continued commitment to practicing important safety precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses.
Weekly COVID-19 testing. All St. Croix Hospice field staff are tested weekly for COVID-19.
Keeping a safe distance. Unless we are providing direct patient care, we practice social distancing in all situations.
Virtual admits and care. Our telehealth services include virtual consults, admissions and care upon request.
Arming staff with knowledge. Our staff receive ongoing training in preventing the spread of infection, including COVID-19 specific education.
Full PPE. Our care teams wear personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, eye protection and a facemask for all direct patient care.
Screening ourselves. All St. Croix Hospice employees perform a daily temperature check and screen for COVID-19 symptoms.
