Mark your calendars for the
10th Annual Valley Health Employer Summit
|
This year’s presenter, Steve Gilliand, is a member of the Speaker Hall of Fame, and one of the most in-demand and top-rated speakers in the world. With an appeal that transcends barriers of age, culture and occupation—plus an interactive and entertaining style—Steve shows audiences how to open doors to success in their careers, their relationships and their lives. As one newspaper stated, “Steve is what happens when the humor of a stand-up comic collides with the inspiration of a motivational speaker.”
This
free
event includes engaging speakers, a full breakfast, giveaways, exhibits, and networking with regional business leaders.
Will the event definitely happen?
For now, we are planning an in-person event, but COVID-19 is on our minds too. Our team is keeping a close eye on public health leading up to this event. Be on the lookout for more information and status updates about this event over the next few months. Regardless, we plan to connect virtually if an in-person event is not possible in November. Registration information to follow.

COVID-19 Pre-Employment Testing Guidance
|
On June 5, 2020, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) granted a three-month waiver from certain pre-employment testing requirements applicable to employers of drivers subject to 49 CFR part 382. This waiver is effective June 5, 2020, and ends on September 30, 2020.
It is important to note that this waiver does not alter any of the remaining controlled substances and alcohol use and testing requirements for a driver performing safety-sensitive functions, and that motor carrier employers subject to the waiver have access, in real time, to driver-specific drug and alcohol violation information through the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse (Clearinghouse).

|
Extending Waiver for CDL & Medical Examinations
|
FMCSA will be extending the waiver (effective July 1, 2020) that was set to expire June 30, 2020 through September 30, 2020 which affects regulations applicable to interstate and intrastate commercial driver’s license (CDL) and commercial learner’s permit (CLP) holders and to other interstate drivers operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs).

Healthcare Provider's Note for Employees
|
As Valley Health System navigates these uncharted waters of the COVID 19 outbreak, we must be diligent in our stewardship of resources that are in limited supply. One of the most valuable, limited resources we have to protect our community is the time of our health care providers.
Consequently, we are no longer in a position to ask our health care providers to compose individualized work notes or complete medical leave/disability forms addressing quarantine related to potential or documented exposure to COVID-19, respiratory symptoms, the presence of chronic illness, or concerns regarding contracting COVID 19 in the workplace itself.
Dr. Jeffrey Feit, VHS Vice President, Population Health.
