  • 1.  Current Respiratory Season and Masks

    Hi everyone, with this current surge of respiratory illnesses, was curious to see what masks are required at your facility for your staff right now (standard surgical masks, KN95, N95, etc)? 

    Thank you,

    Hello Jennifer!

    At our Providence Oregon facilities, most staff members use standard droplet/surgical masks as their universal mask. 

    Thank you,
