- Signs will be posted on entrance doors to advise people who meet any of the following criteria not to enter the facility:
- Traveled to “hot spots” of widespread illness within the past 14 days
- May have come into contact with another person suspected of having a communicable disease within the past 14 days
- Are personally experiencing symptoms of illness currently, or within the past 14 days

- Pharmacy and other health care related delivery personnel will be met at the Entrance by the nursing staff. They will not be admitted any further into the building.
- Families and friends of the Sisters will be encouraged to communicate with them via telephone, email, social media or other forms of remote communication rather than visiting in person.
- The Director of Nursing (DON) will initiate isolation of the eldest and most vulnerable Sisters to restricted areas of the building. No visiting will be permitted with these Sisters.
- The DON, in collaboration with all Department Directors and the current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations, will determine the initiation and duration of visitor restrictions.
- Should any admitted visitors fail to comply with the above visiting regulations, they will be asked to immediately exit the facility.
We appreciate your cooperation. We are doing everything we can to keep our Sisters healthy. We pray for your health and well-being too. God bless you and protect you! -

Our SCC logo consists of the Christian monogram of a chi (X) and a rho (P). These are the first two letters of the Greek word, Khristos, or Christ. The SCC (Sisters of Christian Charity) forms one side of the X. This symbol reflects the Sisters as living together in Christ for the mission of Christlike love. It can be worn on a chain or as a pin. -

Bp. Barron's Lent Reflections
