PPE and Employee Well-Being

As hospitals navigated changing guidance and standards for adequate employee personal protective equipment, CHA tracked and summarized developments in real time – remaining in close contact with Cal/OSHA and making sure regulators understood what hospitals were experiencing. CHA also developed detailed information to assist hospitals and their staff with some of their most pressing needs, including:

• Procuring PPE and other supplies through county Medical and Health Operational Area Coordinators

• Information on childcare, mental health, paycheck protection, and hotel resources for staff, and more – available through a set of human resources FAQs

• Creating a Care for the Caregiver webinar, available as an on-demand recording
