Medical Center Brings Virtual Coronavirus Screening To Idaho

West Valley Medical Center

 

West Valley Medical Center just launched an online COVID-19 screening tool for the public, which assesses a person’s risk of the virus through a series of questions. Based on the person’s answers the screening will recommend the best next steps for care. 

Tracee Hendershott is the Chief Nursing Officer at West Valley Medical Center and joins Idaho Matters to talk about this new program. 

 

As COVID-19 cases spread through the U.S. and Idaho, we’re committed to keeping you updated and informed. You can get updated info on cases, closures and how to stay healthy at any time on our Coronavirus news blog.
