COVID-19 Updates

We are prepared. We are responding. We are here for you.


On behalf of Samaritan, please be assured that there is nothing more important than the safety of our patients, families, staff, volunteers, and community. We have a dedicated Coronavirus Task Force that is examining each and every layer of this situation. We coordinate our work and decision-making processes with multiple entities, including the New Jersey Department of Health, the World Health Organization, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Be assured that we are committed to taking the necessary steps to ensure the safety of our community. Those steps include:

  • Screening employees.
  • Screening patients and those who live in the same house.
  • Taking necessary steps based on the screenings.
  • Providing protective gear such as gloves, masks, and gowns to our clinical staff to use as needed.
  • Suspending volunteer visits to patients.
  • Enforcing best practices, such as hand hygiene and social distancing, for employees.
  • Offering telemedicine visits.
