Cookeville Regional Medical Center saw 99 percent of employees undertake the process to meet vaccine status requirements.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) required all facility staff to either be fully vaccinated or obtain an exemption by January 27th. Chief Strategy Officer Ricky Shelton:
“We’re very thankful,” Shelton said. “Our goal was that we wouldn’t lose any employees and we regret the loss of anyone from our organization. Our goal is always to provide the safest and most effective care to our patients while still following the requirements of the CMS mandates.”
Shelton said that a few individuals chose not to participate in this process which resulted in a separation from CRMC. He said that they appreciate all of the staff at the hospital from nurses to physicians to facility staff for providing excellent care to the members of the community.
