成人抖阴Expands Campus Health Team to Serve COVID-19 Needs
SALISBURY, MD---Salisbury University continues to expand its Campus Health team to better serve the 成人抖阴community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Student Health Services, which continues to provide general health resources, support during the pandemic and consultation for the campus as part of the University Health Team, serves the student population. Campus Health was created to serve the COVID-19 needs of all students, faculty and staff and to pull together resources from other areas on campus to support these efforts.
This semester, the University added two registered nurses within Campus Health. Two medical assistants also are being hired, and a search is underway for a nurse practitioner to be in place by early 2021.
“We’ve learned a lot over the past seven months regarding best practices for COVID-19 operations,” said Eli Modlin, 成人抖阴chief of staff. “These new roles will allow us to continue to build on our efforts to best serve the campus community.”
The new positions will ensure students and employees isolating on or off campus after testing positive for COVID-19, and those quarantined due to potential COVID-19 exposure, will receive regular communication from Campus Health staff.
In addition, they will allow the University to expand in-house COVID-19 testing opportunities by creating less reliance on volunteers from other areas on campus to staff SU’s testing site.
The University’s current policy of requiring all students and employees on campus to take a COVID-19 test at 成人抖阴and receive a negative result every 30 days, and immediately after traditional breaks such as Thanksgiving and winter, is expected to remain in place during the spring semester.
成人抖阴has announced a shortened spring break for 2021 to discourage travel to popular beach destinations that became COVID-19 hotspots as students from across the country gathered there last March.
Similar to the current semester, more than 50 percent of SU’s classes this spring are expected to be held face-to-face or in a hybrid modality (with some in-classroom and some virtual components).
“Thanks to our students’ taking responsibility by wearing face masks as appropriate, practicing social distancing, avoiding large gatherings and following other precautions, coupled with the hard work and flexibility of our faculty and staff, 成人抖阴has proven that in-person learning, with certain safety measures in place, is possible,” said Modlin. “We’re looking forward to a productive spring semester, and to providing more support and resources to our students and employees.”
