Three Helpful Resources for COVID-19

The MCHI healthcare team is here to support you through the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.  While there is a host of information available online and through the media, we want to share the following specific links to the CDC “Self-Checker,” what to do when “Quarantine” is needed, and what to do when “Isolation” is prescribed.
