COVID-19 update As of the writing of this newsletter, GRMC has been experiencing a surge in positive COVID-19 patients, many of whom are critically ill. We confronted a similar multi-week event this past summer, detailed in the narrative “Behind the Masks,” linked on our website. We are taking necessary steps to protect our patients and staff, including strict enforcement of universal masking, social distancing and limiting visitors on campus. We are well-stocked on personal protective equipment and patient care supplies and have opened COVID-19-specific patient care units. To maximize safety, we have implemented new processes, such as curbside outpatient lab draws and touch-free registration. Our goal is to continue to provide all normal patient care services without interruption while also caring for COVID-19 patients. During the week of Christmas, our GRMC physicians and staff began receiving the Moderna vaccine. We encourage those at risk for severe illness and eligible for vaccination to take advantage of the opportunity as soon as those rollouts begin in our community. We urge all in the community to continue taking every precaution to avoid COVID-19 exposure and sickness so we can all enjoy a healthy and happy new year! 2 | GRMC Heal th Currents As Seguin and our outlying areas continue to explode with new houses, new residents and expanding schools, so too is the demand for local healthcare continuing to grow.
