AHCC Reports No COVID Cases, 100% Vaccine for Residents

During the recent hosital board meeting at the Johnson County Healthcare Center, it was reported that the residents at the Amie Holt Care Center in Buffalo were recently isolated again, but not because of COVID-19.

According to Brenda Gorm, director of nursing at the the AHCC, several staff members and a few residents had gastroenteritis, or stomach flu, likely caused by a norovirus.

The care center has taken the isolation precaution and has taken up more in-depth sanitizing routines to stop or at least slow down the spread.

Gorm also said the residents would be getting their second doses of the coronavirus vaccine this week.

The facility has had no COVID-19 infections in the resident population so far, and 100% of the residents had opted to take the vaccine when it was offered to them, according to discussions.
