Hopedale Medical Complex is among nine rural critical access hospitals statewide receiving direct COVID-19 vaccine allocations under a new safety net program.
The Tazewell County-based health care system is now receiving a weekly vaccine allocation directly from the federal government under the Safety Net Direct Vaccine Allocation Pilot Program that seeks to boost vaccine access in rural, underserved areas.
Emily Whitson is chief operating officer of Hopedale Medical Complex (HMC). Particularly here, we have some very aged patients, Whitson said. And patients that aren t going to have internet access, and/or they just don t use it. So that makes it even more difficult to make sure that population, which is the most vulnerable, are getting their vaccine.
