“In order for us to successfully deliver essential healthcare services, we must do everything within our control to ensure our patients feel safe and comfortable when seeking care,” said Anthony Misitano, Chairman and CEO of Post Acute Medical. “We don’t want anyone avoiding necessary treatment or rehabilitation because they’re concerned for their health or safety while visiting any of our facilities.”
In April 2020, there were concerns related to the inherent risk of COVID-19 circulating within the air systems at one PAM facility in Victoria, Texas, which experienced a dramatic spike in COVID-19 patient referrals.
Leadership worked quickly and aggressively to identify and secure the IVP indoor biodefense system with new technology capable of killing 99.999% of airborne COVID-19 and killing or removing other airborne pathogens, including anthrax, influenza, rhinovirus and other biological species.
The technology used in the IVP system had only been approved for use the previous month by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration under their Policy for Sterilizers, Disinfectant Devices and Air Purifiers during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency.
By being the first to embrace this new innovative technology, PAM has further demonstrated our commitment to providing the safest and healthiest environments for patients to seek treatment and rehabilitation services; and has once again demonstrated why Post Acute Medical is as a leader in the healthcare industry.
