AMA Member Companies Respond to Pandemic
continued from Page 19
n Beacon operates remote medical clinics throughout Alaska, and specifically 10 year around sites on the North Slope. The efforts in these sites has been remarkable to ensure preparedness, supplies and quarantine procedures are well thought out. During the past several weeks our teams have managed the care of COVID-19 positive patients, quarantine flights off the North Slope for folks who were in known contact and on-going quarantine screenings of these individuals while in quarantine in Anchorage. State DHHS is sending Beacon one of the 50 rapid testing machines they received from Abbott labs. This will allow us to provide rapid testing across the slope which will greatly speed up the turnaround time, which is currently 4-5 days for lab testing. Our folks in remote clinics are absolutely amazing in their passion for medicine. As one client recently put it “You’ve always been a trusted, talented partner in what we do. During this pandemic, you’ve gone beyond amazing.” — Mike Wyne, 907-375-4383 or 907-231-3949

Screenings continue to be modified based on our medical directors’ direction but includes travel exposure, signs and symptoms intake and temperature check with infrared thermometers. n Facility Screening- Going on location for employers that have requested screening of all employees on a daily basis as they come on shift. n Hospitality Program- This service is supporting clients that are needing to meet the state travel mandate, as well as contractual requirements for 14-day in-state quarantine. The service includes us facilitating the reservations, meal program and daily on-site health screening to document the 14-day quarantine. n COVID-19 Consulting has included a template action plan that was sent to all members of the Alliance, AGC and State Chamber. This allowed companies to have a starting point on how to respond to the State requirement for essential work.
