All Devereux centers have formal infectious-disease and emergency-management plans tailored to specifically address the unique aspects of COVID-19 prevention. In accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization, just a few of these precautions have included:

• Establishing enhanced cleaning and disinfection across all campuses and sites

• Using PPE, including masks, gloves and gowns as indicated by the CDC

Throughout the pandemic, Devereux has also supported the physical and financial health of our dedicated team members - our very own Healthcare Heroes. A variety of options have been implemented over time to support our staff, including the provision of:

• Ongoing dedication bonuses, as well as sign-on bonuses, for direct support professionals (DSP) and other staff members
