Operational Plan for Transition to Green within our Centers
With the understanding that COVID-19 is not going to disappear any time soon, preventing the spread of this virus still remains part of Team’s agenda at Rehab1. We recognize that core protective measures and a strategic plan remain important tools to limit the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses that may affect those in our community, on our Team, and our clients. This is particularly important for those that may not have yet been vaccinated or those with vulnerable immune systems.
The following operation plan outlines how our daily operations and the other protective measures will be modified and/or maintained to promote health and well-being long-term.
We strongly feel that, by incorporating the knowledge learned through over the past 18 months, we can do our part as a responsible business to help protect against respiratory illnesses and continue to inspire wellness in our community!
