nation, after thoughtful
deliberation and a for-
mal ethical discernment,
PeaceHealth joins many
health systems across the
country, and professional
organizations including
the Catholic Health As-
sociation, the American
Hospital Association, the
American Medical Associ-
ation, the American Nurs-
es Association, and others
in ensuring public health
by requiring vaccination.
Dr. Bob Pelz, Peace-
Health’s system medical
director of Infection Pre-
vention, noted that “New
variants of COVID-19
pose a critical threat to
those unable to be vacci-
nated, including children
and the medically vulner-
able. It is our moral obli-
gation to first do no harm
and act for the common
good. COVID-19 vaccines
are proven to be the best
way to protect ourselves
and reduce the likelihood
of harming others.”
This new policy is a re-
flection of the organiza-
tion’s shared commitment
to ensure every patient
receives safe care at Peace-
Health, the organization
stated, and is part of a
multi-measured approach
to protect caregivers and
patients, along with the
supply of personal protec-
tive equipment, routine
testing, masking, social
distancing, diligent hy-
giene, contact tracing and
proper quarantining.

– PeaceHealth announced
that starting Aug. 31,
2021, all caregivers will be
required to be vaccinated
against COVID-19 or sub-
mit a qualifying medical
exemption.
Unvaccinated individu-
als will be subject to reg-
ular COVID-19 testing, as
well as additional mask-
ing, potential reassign-
ment to non-patient care
settings, and other safety
protocols. The policy will
apply to all caregivers,
including providers, stu-
dents, contractors, ven-
dors, and volunteers.
“Though nearly 80
percent of PeaceHealth
caregivers have already
been vaccinated, the rise
in hospitalizations in our
communities is a stark re-
minder that we are facing
a public health emergen-
cy and we must do more,”
said Dr. Doug Koekkoek,
PeaceHealth’s Chief Phy-
sician Executive. “We be-
lieve all healthcare work-
ers who are medically able
should get a COVID-19
vaccine to keep them-
selves, our patients, and
our communities safe. Do-
ing so is part of our mis-
sion to promote personal
and community health
and our vision to make
sure that every person re-
ceives safe, compassionate
care.”

has had high rates of vol-
