In line with CDC guidelines, Tanner today began administering COVID-19 vaccines to our frontline healthcare workers most at risk for exposure... We are asking our team members to post their photos and share their vaccine experiences with this hashtag: #TannerVaccineDiaries

It's here! Our frontline healthcare workers have begun receiving their first doses of the recently-approved COVID-19 vaccine. Safety for them, safety for our patients, safety for our communities. Read more:

Our senior leadership team was featured in a New York Times article on the strain COVID-19 has put on the nation's hospitals. Please, wear a mask, avoid large gatherings, keep your social distance and do what you can to stay well. From the Times:

COVID-19 continues to impact our communities. Our visitor policies help stop the spread of the virus. Remember: Each patient may have one visitor per 24-hour period. Visitors must remain in the patient’s room.... Masks must be worn at all times within the hospital. Use hand sanitizer or wash whenever you enter or leave a patient’s room. Temperature checks and screening are required to enter the hospital. Patients are encouraged to use technologies like Facetime, Facebook Messenger and video call applications to stay in touch with loved ones. For the safety of our patients, visitors and staff, visits to COVID-19 patients are restricted. Thank you for protecting our patients, communities and the healthcare heroes on within our hospital.

If you’ve had COVID-19, your blood could be turned into a plasma product to help someone else survive it! To donate, simply go to https://qoo.ly/38tfpq, then select a time slot between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. for a regular blood donation on Friday, Nov. 6!

People who have recovered from COVID-19 have a lot of fight in them, in the form of antibodies in their blood plasma. These antibodies could help other people fight it off, too. The more plasma collected, the more people who can be helped. Please watch this video: https://qoo.ly/389fb7. Visit thefightisinus.org to see if you qualify and find a donor center near you. Potential donors also can call 1-877-PLASMA9 (1-877-752-7629). #thefightisinus #TannerHealthSystem
