CRESCENT AND COVID VACCINATIONS |
|
It has been a long time coming, but it is finally here.
The COVID-19 vaccine has been developed to help our bodies develop immunity to the virus that causes COVID-19 without us getting the illness. There have been many questions on the COVID-19 vaccine and Crescents' stance on a COVID-19 requirement. Crescent DOES NOT and IS NOT requiring our people to receive vaccines, including the COVID-19 vaccine.
Currently, the COVID-19 vaccine's initial phase will offer healthcare personnel and residents long-term care facilities access to the vaccination. The goals of the COVID-19 vaccine Program are to ensure effectiveness and help maintain healthcare capacities. Phase 1 of the COVID-19 vaccine, which began, December 20, 2020, has been provided for people aged 75 years and older and non–health care frontline essential workers. The next phase will be to offer the COVID-19 vaccine to people aged 65–74 years, people aged 16–64 years with high-risk medical conditions, and essential workers- defined as first responders, education, food and agriculture, manufacturing, corrections workers, U.S. Postal Workers, Public transit, grocery store workers, etc.
As the vaccine is made available, Crescent will be planning on providing our People with access to the COVID-19 vaccination by:
- Covering the administration fee to the vaccine if you receive the COVID-19 vaccine AND are covered under one of Crescent's medical benefit plans.
- Providing the COVID-19 vaccine through one of Crescent's onsite wellbeing events-similar to our FLU shot events. All active Crescent people are eligible to receive the immunization onsite at no cost.
-
Rest assured that there will be no cost for Aetna® members to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Learn more
Different types of vaccines work in different ways to offer protection. Getting vaccinated is one of the many steps you can take to protect yourself and others from COVID-19. The CDC has recommended that those 65 and older should begin or look into receiving the vaccination. We encourage everyone to do their research, consult their physician on the COVID-19 vaccine, and learn the details. As more information and vaccines are made available, we will be sure to keep everyone up to date. For any questions, please contact a People Group Representative.
Here is information for all states, with Crescent operations, beginning to offer the vaccine to those 65 and older.
- Ohio, February 8, 2021
- Pennsylvania, January 19, 2021
- Tennessee, February 2021

Our Steps to an Easy and Greener Payroll Experience!
To achieve our paperless goals, we would like all people to participate in direct deposit and opt-out of paper statements.
Opting out of paper statements is easy! Click here to learn how.
Going paperless doesn't remove your ability to view your statements. You can view your statements when you want them on your computer or in the UKG mobile app. And if you need a hard copy – print it. It’s that easy.
After April 2021, all paper checks and paper statements will be mailed out from Crescent corporate at USPS standard rate on Payday Friday. According to USPS, standard envelopes take 2- 5 business days to deliver.

Accountability: the Forgotten Competency |
One of the crucial capacities of a great leader is accountability. It is essential for producing results in our businesses, community organizations, schools, politics, and families.
Despite its importance, it is one of the most misunderstood and misapplied leadership competencies in society today.
