*COVID-19 Report:   For the week of May 20-26, 2022, we had one staff member and no residents test positive for COVID.  The staff member who tested positive was confirmed with subsequent testing to be a “false positive.”  We are STRONGLY encouraging all visitors to receive a COVID test at the facility before you enter, so we can hopefully avoid future visitation restrictions.  We can provide you this test free of charge, and the results are back within 15 minutes.  All visitors must still wear a mask at all times, use hand sanitizer, practice social distancing, and complete a health screening before you can enter.  All employees continue to be tested regularly, and we continue to follow recommended infection control practices to ensure we are reducing the risk of this virus spreading any further.  If you have any questions please contact our Administrator Kevin McElroy at kmcelroy@mshosp.org. 

*COVID VACCINE UPDATE: We encourage everyone to receive the vaccine when it’s available to you. We strongly encourage you to allow us to administer the COVID-19 vaccine to your loved one once it is available. Our goal has always been to keep the Evergreen and our residents COVID free.  We believe the vaccine is our best opportunity to keep our residents safe, healthy, and allow us to get back to a level of “normalcy”.
