PPE for Continuing Education
All SwedishAmerican employees are required to wear appropriate PPE while teaching. This includes classes that are taught in our building as well as off-site. Based on the number of classes that are held at our facility and in the region each week it is our objective to keep all of our students and staff healthy.
At this time we are requiring that all participants for on-site continuing education with a SwedishAmerican instructor wear a mask throughout the training. Thank you for your support.
If you have concerns about this please contact Tom Pratt, Manager, Emergency Medical Services.
