With safety Banner’s top priority, it’s our responsibility to reduce risk for those we serve, and one another. We care for some of the most vulnerable people in our communities and owe it to them to take every measure possible to offer the safest care environment possible.
With that guiding priority – Banner implemented a COVID-19 vaccination mandate for its team members effective Nov. 1, 2021. By taking this important step, we’re protecting our team members and patients from a disease causing significant morbidity and mortality. On Nov. 1, 2021, we’ll begin our facility screener verification process. That means prior to or upon arrival at one of our facilities, the majority of our vendors and contractors will need to complete a COVID-19 vaccine status mobile attestation. Additional details can be provided by your Banner point of contact.
To ensure this level of safety, Banner is requiring all vendors who come in contact with patient care areas or our team members to be compliant with our vaccination mandate effective Nov. 1, 2021. This is in addition to continuous masking, regardless of vaccination status.
As a valued vendor, we appreciate your patience and support as we take all measures possible to offer our patients and teams a safe place to work and receive care.
