We are pleased to let you know that there will be no restrictions on nursing home visits at this time. Scheduled visits are no longer required. Please be advised that Covid-19 may be present in the building, however, visits may take place with appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and clear understanding of the risks faced with this type of visit. That said, we still must maintain safety of all residents and the following rules will apply. Arriving at the facility, all visitors must check in at the main entrance of the hospital. They then go directly to their residents unit and check in at the desk with staff and sign in (this is imperative to ensure our ability to contact trace in the event we have positive cases). All visitors must adhere to the core principles of infection prevention, including the following: • Visitors who have a positive viral test for Covid-19, symptoms of Covid-19, or currently meet the criteria for quarantine, should not enter the facility. • All visitors must be screened for signs and symptoms of Covid-19 to enter the facility. • Hand Hygiene (use of alcohol-based hand rub is preferred). • Face coverings or mask (covering the mouth and nose) and physical distancing, at least six feet in between people. • Appropriate use of personal protective equipment (PPE). When visits occur inside the building, all visitors must only go to the resident’s room and they must follow all infection prevention requirements including: • Leaving their facemask on at all times (This includes the resident). • Maintaining six feet of distance apart; do not wander through the halls of the building. • Using hand sanitizer prior to and after your visit. It is available in hallways throughout the facility. • Visitors must assure the safety of co-residents by maintaining six feet apart and both wearing masks. Residents in semi-private rooms should have no more than two people visiting at a time with the curtain pulled separating the co-resident in order to maintain social distancing. • Visitors may not attend group programs or be present during meals in the dining room (visitors can assist with feeding the resident in their room). Residents may go out on pass with families/friends, but will be quarantined and Covid-19 tested for two weeks (14 days) upon their return to the facility. While residents are out of the facility, guardians will be responsible to ensure residents are following all infection prevention guidance. We are both excited and a bit nervous for this change as we have spent the past two years doing our very best to keep everyone safe throughout the pandemic. Safety remains our priority and we require your cooperation to keep the residents safe. Please adhere to these rules so that everyone may have safe visits. Visits will be restricted if infection control measures are not followed. #wycoapproved #wcchs #wyomingcountyny #nursinghomevisitation View on Facebook·Share Wyoming County Community Health System 1 week ago Wyoming County has had a 9.5% positivity rate over the last 7 days, far above the statewide totals. For unvaccinated adults, the pandemic remains a daily threat, and a personal choice to stay unvaccinated will continue to put you and those around you at risk. Unfortunately, large-scale gatherings increase the chances of contracting COVID-19 — especially in light of the virus’ Delta variant. Thanksgiving is just a week away, get all your plans in place to celebrate safely. Remember: get the vaccine if you haven't, get a booster if you have, wear a mask, stay home if you feel sick & keep practicing social distancing.

Photo View on Facebook·Share Wyoming County Community Health System 3 weeks ago WCCHS received complete compliance status and renewal of certification by the Food and Drug Administration after a recent onsite MQSA (Mammography Quality Standards Act) inspection. We are proud of our mammography services team for once again receiving exceptional results during this annual inspection. What is MQSA? MQSA stands for Mammography Quality Standards Act a law with the intent of ensuring that all women could have access to quality mammography examinations in order to detect breast cancer early, when it is most treatable. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversees and enforces the accreditation and certification provisions of the MQSA. In order to offer mammography services, a facility must be MQSA certified. In order for a facility to be MQSA certified, it must be accredited by an approved body. To achieve and maintain MQSA certification, a facility must: • undergo periodic reviews of its clinical images • have an annual survey conducted by a medical physicist • meet the MQSA quality standards for personnel qualifications, equipment, radiation dose, quality assurance programs, and recordkeeping and reporting • undergo an annual inspection by federally trained and certified federal or state personnel As personnel involved in the production and processing of mammograms, radiologic technologists who perform mammographic procedures are required to have specific qualifications and meet certain MQSA requirements in order to perform mammography examinations. #wycoapproved #wcchs #wyomingcountyny #mammography #mammographyqualitystandards #mqsacertified Photo View on Facebook·Share Wyoming County Community Health System 3 weeks ago Wyoming Community Hospital Foundation Annual Sportsman Gun/Cash Raffle will be held VIRTUALLY again this year via FaceBook LIVE.

Photo View on Facebook·Share Wyoming County Community Health System 7 months ago National Nurse’s Week, May 6th – 12th, is a special time to reflect on all the WCCHS nursing staff, the important role that they play, the sacrifices that they make, and how fortunate we are to have them. Like every other year, the American Nurses Association designates a theme for the week. This year, we find two themes. First, “Year of the Nurse 2021-Caring, Skill, Integrity.” This theme is a continuation from 2020 as it relates to the pandemic and all the courage nurses had and continue to show while working on the frontlines. The second theme is “Nurses: Exceptional People, Essential Care.” This theme needs no further explanation. WCCHS nurses, who are especially talented in what they do, including Obstetrics, Medical/Surgical, Intensive Care, Surgical, Emergency, Cardiac Rehab, Informatics, Clinics, Infection Prevention, Data Abstraction, Nursing Supervisors, Nurse Managers, Patient Family Services, Behavioral Health, Nurse Educator, Skilled Nursing Facility, and Workplace Health Services, contribute in countless ways to the health and well-being of our patients during some very challenging times. So many words can describe a nurse: caring, amazing, compassionate, loving, kind, sensitive, reliable, devoted, tough, hardworking, selfless, dedicated. The list could go on and on. While one week is not nearly enough, we want to take this week every year to share our gratitude and support by thanking all of our nurses for the work they do every day, in times of crisis, and always. #wycoapproved #wcchs #wyomingcountyny #NursesWeek2021 Photo View on Facebook·Share Wyoming County Community Health System 7 months ago Due to the weather, the Plant Sale has been moved inside for today.
