Commonwealth Healthcare Corp. chief executive officer Esther Mu\u00f1a is reminding her staff that hospital services and clinics will still be open today.<\/p>\n
In a memorandum issued to staff Tuesday, Mu\u00f1a said that only administrative offices will be closed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn line with the acting governor\u2019s administrative leave for Friday, only administrative offices will be closed,\u201d the memo states.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll hospital services including ancillary services and outpatient clinics such as the Women\u2019s, Children\u2019s and Family Care Clinics, Public Health Clinics, Community Guidance Center clinics, the Kagman Community Health Center and Tinian and Rota health centers shall remain open for business as usual. Support staff for these services should also report for duty on this day,\u201d the memo adds.<\/p>\n
According to Mu\u00f1a, they don\u2019t want to have four days where the only option available for the public are the hospital and emergency room services.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t want four days of no clinic. That\u2019s basically not good health care,\u201d Mu\u00f1a said in an interview.<\/p>\n
She said they need to have at least the clinics be open today.<\/p>\n
\u201cFriday we need to remain open for the clinics and the support staff that are part of that clinic [should report for duty],\u201d Mu\u00f1a said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
