At Modern Healthcare, we are honored to cele- brate the Best Places to Work for demonstrating their commitment to their employees, and the communities they serve, with exemplary people care measures.” Cardiovascular Institute of the South will be recognized at the 2022 Best Places to Work in Healthcare Awards Gala taking place on Sept. 29 at the Hilton Downtown in Nashville.

With COVID-19 virus cases and hospitaliza- tions increasing statewide again, DCHC is avail- able to assist individuals who suspect they may be infected with the virus with testing, treat persons who test positive, and provide various medications. “Test to treat for COVID-19 is an effective way for preventing severe disease, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19.
