AccuShield Kiosk Sign-In:

We have received numerous questions regarding why visitors must enter Nursing and EL neighborhoods through the main entrance door in Village Center. This visitor policy is in place to ensure safety, as we’re able to keep track of visitors in the building, as all visitors are expected to sign in and wear a name tag. This is not a COVID-19 requirement, but a requirement that will remain in place regardless of outbreak status. Additionally, any neighborhood in Nursing or EL that is in a COVID-19 or flu outbreak will continue to be posted on a sign at the main entrance to Village Center as well as on the AccuShield kiosk, the Blog, and MVTV so that you can plan your visit accordingly.

**Do Not Visit if you are having any of the following symptoms: fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, and/or diarrhea. We appreciate your continued efforts to help protect our community. If you have COVID-19 questions, please reach out to our Infection Preventionist, Gina Johnson, at 717-591-7206.
