Valley View
Leading the Way
RESPONDING TO THE COVID-19 GLOBAL PANDEMIC LOCALLY Early in the year, Valley View began to prepare for the presence of the novel COVID-19 virus in the community and care for those patients affected by the virus. On March 6, 2020, the organization’s Incident Command team started meeting on a daily basis. The team represented a huge cross-section of Valley View: inpatient nurses, hospitalists, materials management staff, emergency department team members, family practice providers, pharmacists, employee health professionals, and executive leaders. The team began to organize and coordinate every possible response element needed to care for COVID-19 patients. Valley View quickly established and executed 146 objectives to respond to the pandemic. In a matter of weeks, Valley View transformed itself to lead the community in caring for those with COVID-19.
