How Caron Stays Prepared

As a leading healthcare provider that offers residential, inpatient services, our patients live in close quarters. Some of our patients are also medically compromised. There’s no denying that an outbreak of any virus on our campuses or units could be dangerous, which is why Caron has well-established practices, policies, and procedures aimed at preventing the spread of infectious diseases 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our successful track record with the Influenza virus is a testament to our rigorous commitment to these practices. Examples of standard precautions include:

Although there are no reports of coronavirus on our campuses, the staff at Caron is prepared to address any potential cases. We are monitoring the directives and guidelines put forth by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as local health officials. Immediate actions taken by Caron’s campuses in response to the current climate include:

In the unlikely event that an outbreak occurs, Caron’s highly trained and experienced medical staff – including 10 full-time doctors and 50 nurses – are prepared to both recognize warning signs and implement preventative measures to reduce risk. We are fortunate to have a strong and collaborative relationship with Reading Hospital Tower Health, where all the doctors on my team teach and consult, so we can easily coordinate with experts when a higher-level of acute medical care is needed.

At Caron, we're confident that we have the experience and expertise to manage these issues successfully.
