A message from SCL Healthcare: Wishing our community a safe and happy holiday

As the leaders of St. James Healthcare, we hope you know that we have been working tirelessly to ensure our associates feel safe and supported as they provide care to our patients and community.

We always look forward to spending time with family and friends during the holidays, as we are sure most of you do as well. This year, however, it is not quite the same. A sense of uncertainty quickly follows the anticipation of spending time with loved ones; are we putting the health of those who are most important to us at risk? It weighs heavily on our minds. There are some recommendations we will undoubtedly follow, and we urge you to do so, as well.

Gatherings — We do not recommend in-person gatherings, as positive COVID-19 cases continue to rise in our region. But we understand during the holidays you will want to spend time with family and friends.
