News and Updates

COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics

We have run successful clinics for distribution of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to consenting CHCC patients, residents, and staff across our communities and campuses. We are thankful for our partnership with CVS and Walgreens for their handling of cold-chain management, scheduling, administration on-site, and tracking and reporting the vaccine.

We are excited to have the COVID-19 vaccine in our tool kit, but we remain steadfast in our commitment to safety and infection control measures across all of our campuses to ensure the health and safety of everyone in our community.

CHCC continues to support our acute-care partners to meet the community’s health-care needs. Heritage Manor Nursing Home is accepting limited admissions from local acute-care hospitals. These new patients come to us for care in order to complete their recovery following hospitalization. They are tested before admission, upon arrival, and move into an established unit used to cohort individuals under investigation for or recovering from the virus.

Among the hundreds of employees across our long-term/post-acute care, and assisted living communities, there are currently no CHCC team members who are COVID-19 positive.

CHCC continues to be in full compliance with state-mandated regular testing of employees.
