Dear Family and Friends,

Franciscan Health Center tested all staff on 11/20/2020. One staff member tested positive for COVID-19 during this round of testing. We tested all residents and employees again on Monday, November 23rd. Our staff who test positive are asked to self-quarantine at home. Positive staff will not be allowed to return to work until they recover from the virus; 10 days following positive test and 72 hours from last fever without using medication.

We want to remind you that we are following all recommendations from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Our staff are being screened for COVID symptoms before the start of each shift and tested twice weekly. Staff are equipped with surgical masks, eye protection and gowns when providing care. Our residents have their full vitals checked in the morning and screened and monitored throughout the day.

We appreciate all the support, prayers, and offers of help that we’ve received. Thank you again for being partners with us in fighting the COVID-19 virus. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Brittany Loosbrock, Administrator, at 952-239-6638 if you have any questions or concerns.
