NASHVILLE, Tenn. & LAGRANGE, Ga. - March 13, 2020 - President Trump announced today he is declaring a national state of emergency due to the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak. Renal Care Options provides care to a patient population at high risk of contracting the Covid-19 virus. In response to news of the virus in early January, the RCO New Renality care team immediately activated an established emergency preparedness plan.
When asked for comment, Brenda Lepley, COO, of Renal Care Options responded, "We have been tracking all guidance information from CDC, CMS, and NKF, as well as information from local, state and regional government agencies since we became aware of the Covid-19 occurrence in China. We have communicated with our New Renality doctors, patients, families, and staff, to review policies and procedures and educate everyone on best practices during this outbreak. We will continue to monitor and assess this situation and will communicate changes to our current practices by utilizing all resources including our Telehealth capabilities."
RCO leadership is committed to promoting a safe environment for patients and staff and, most importantly, to providing continuing vital renal care services for the patients we serve.
