Feds Named Four Out-of-State Facilities as:
"First-Tier," Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Selected For "Second-Tier" by New Jersey Governor Christie
Last week, Governor Christie designated Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, University Hospital in Newark and Hackensack University Medical Center as the primary treatment centers for potential Ebola cases in New Jersey, a move to calm an increasingly anxious public after a few false alarms in the state and a confirmed case in New York City.
ABOUT Fast Response On-Site Testing (FROST)
Fast Response On-Site Testing, Inc. (FROST) is a privately held California corporation established in 1997. With the vast experience of the staff and expert consultants, Fast Response On-Site is able to offer clients the highest quality medical testing and OSHA health and safety compliance services.
Fast Response technicians are all CAOHC and NIOSH trained and certified, and undergo frequent quality control reviews by their medical director.
In an interview, FROST’s president, Dr. Casey Terribilini says “FROST is very flattered to be selected by RWJ to help keep their Ebola Response Team safe and ready should they be needed. Hospitals and clinics are unique work environments with challenging occupational health and safety issues. Many large hospitals have health and safety personnel who are highly qualified to develop and implement appropriate policies and procedures to control workplace exposures. FROST complements these professionals by providing the highest quality mobile respiratory protection services.”
Health care workers in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, clinics, and physician offices can be exposed to serious infectious diseases such as influenza, tuberculosis, measles and meningitis. Staff in health care workplaces must be trained and equipped to protect themselves and prevent the spread of these diseases. Our health care community must also be prepared to protect workers whenever a novel pathogen emerges, such as influenza and Ebola.
Fast Response Onsite Testing (FROST) is the perfect partner solution for any size hospital or clinic to help keep their workforce protected. Serving multiple, large and small hospitals throughout the United States, FROST provides fit testing and training services to thousands of hospital and clinic based health providers every year.
