We will be sharing information from our Human Resources and Behavioral Health teams to help you navigate any struggles you may be having. Thank you for your continued dedication to AltaMed and the communities we serve—they need us.
Keeping Safe
 
To ensure the safety of our staff, our outdoor testing and evaluation centers were closed today and will close, again, tomorrow. We will keep you updated about further closures.
 
We remind you to continue maintaining safe practices below, especially as patients may be coming into our clinics for care while outdoor centers are closed.
 
Safety Reminders:
  • Patient-facing staff, including front office, should wear a face shield or eye covering in addition to a face mask – avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Face masks should be worn at all times over your nose and mouth (except when drinking or eating), and should be stored properly or discarded.
  • Employees must wear appropriate PPE when on site.
  • Maintain hand hygiene – all staff should have easy access to hand sanitizer dispensers to clean hands frequently, and should be washing hands for 20 seconds at a time.
  • Practice social distancing – six feet apart from other individuals whether inside or outside.
  • Wipe down any work surfaces you touch.
