The Hospice Center has initiated screening for anyone entering the facility at 2626 17th St. in Columbus, including staff, guests and visitors. Everyone should enter the center through the main entrance, including anyone visiting the Columbus Regional Health Sleep Diagnostic Center or the Outpatient Palliative Care clinic.
Screening is recommended for the health and safety of staff and patients, officials said. Additional cleaning of public spaces has been initiated and the gift shop and salad bar at the Inpatient Center are closed until further notice.
