Keeping America Safe: Hackensack Meridian Health's Assist Program

Transforming Business Together

Businesses face a constantly changing landscape due to COVID-19 leaving owners with many questions and concerns. All types of businesses are affected like:

Restaurants
Commercial Real Estate and Office Spaces
Schools

They need to do their best to keep employees, customers and visitors safe but aren’t healthcare experts.

Several business owners’ concerns that our program addresses include:

How can I best protect my employees and customers against COVID-19 transmission?
How can I keep track of the changing guidelines and their impact on policies and protocols?
How can I certify that crucial, precautionary measures have been implemented as my commitment to provide a safe environment?
How do I need to reconfigure my environment to accommodate for social distancing?
What should I do if someone tests positive for COVID-19?
How can I best support my employees’ health and wellbeing?
