In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak at Flagstone Senior Living, one of the lessons North Central Public Health District Director Dr. Mimi McDonell is taking from it is the need for support for staff members at care facilities where outbreaks occur.  In response to a question from Wasco County Commission Chair Scott Hege about whether support from the state has been sufficient, McDonell said the state needs teams of health care workers who can come in and provide both administrative and care support.  She says it would be expensive, but worth it.  McDonell thinks it is not reasonable to expect long-term care facilities to do all of that on their own.
