The health and safety of our patients, families and employees are our highest priority.
Starting today, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, in adherence with Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland's Safer at Home order, will have only St. Jude employees who perform essential functions on campus. All other employees are at home.
In addition, St. Jude is conducting enhanced COVID-19 screenings on all employees providing patient care. The enhanced screenings include daily symptoms checks and periodic COVID-19 testing. These screenings will improve our ability to identify possible infections in patient care workers early and minimize the spread of the virus. This is a vital tool to keep our patients - many of whom have compromised immune systems - safe.
We are deeply appreciative of our employees as they continue to work hard to care for our patients and keep our campus safe.
