Hospital for Behavioral Medicine is following CDC guidelines, as well as that of state and local public health departments.
Every patient, family member, and visitor who comes to our facilities is screened for COVID-19 with a Symptom Questionnaire and by having their temperature taken. This ensures that people with symptoms of COVID-19 are recognized promptly and actions are taken to guarantee that illness is not introduced or spread.
Staff and patients are monitored daily for COVID-19 symptoms and are screened with a temperature check as well as the Symptom Questionnaire and are asked to stay home if they are feeling ill. Mask wearing, hand hygiene, social distancing, and environmental deep cleaning continues to be top priorities for us and occurs on a regular basis 7 days a week.
We are committed to high quality, compassionate care, and that will not change. We remain available 24/7 to screen and accept patients into all our inpatient and outpatient programs.
Massachusetts Association of Occupational Therapy works with schools, hospitals, nursing homes and the Board of Allied Health about relevant concerns in our profession. This will bring the opportunity for professionals to get together and discuss relevant topics in health care.
Meetings will be held every third Tuesday of the month. Watch for upcoming topics of interest.
$10 for non-members, all disciplines are welcome.
First meeting to be held March 17th 5:30p-7:30p for our first meet and greet and planning session
