FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
“The Delaware Healthcare Association joins Governor John Carney in strongly supporting COVID-19 vaccination as the best way to reduce and ultimately control the pandemic. We strongly encourage all to join the hundreds of thousands of Delawareans and hundreds of millions of Americans who have received a vaccine to protect themselves and our neighbors from the COVID-19 virus.
Our members continue to assess their local needs and environments with regard to vaccine strategy for their employees. Some members have adopted policies of mandated workforce vaccination. Other members have implemented initiatives designed to maximize workforce vaccination and increase the number of employees who will ultimately receive both doses of an approved vaccine. DHA supports all of our members and their deliberative processes. All are creating policies that optimize patient and employee safety, while considering local circumstances and environment.
Every Delawarean can rest assured that every Delaware hospital continues to present a safe and caring healing environment.”
The Delaware Healthcare Association (DHA) was formed in 1967 to assist Delaware hospitals in working on issues concerning health care and the hospital industry.
