Coronavirus Facts and How to Protect Your Employees Webinar
Date: Wednesday, April 1
Time: 8:30 a.m.-10 a.m. EDT
RVIA presents a webinar with Dr. S. Jesse Hsieh, MD, for medical insights on the COVID-19 virus and how to protect the health of employees and companies. To register, click here.
Hsieh will cover three main areas:
• Medical primer on COVID-19, such as the real facts about which masks work, social distancing and how long the virus remains on surfaces and in the air.
• What the real statistics are, why the death rate varies so much by country, what the hot spots are and who is most at risk.
• How businesses can safely return people to work, government directives and how to allay employee fears.
Hsieh is chairman of the board of Beacon Health System, a billion-dollar organization with five hospitals and more than 7,000 employees. He is also professor at both the Indiana University School of Medicine and the Notre Dame MBA/EMA programs. He has been featured in national publications for medical excellence in caring for multiple generations of families over his 30 years of experience.
Both webinars are expected to reach capacity, so registrants will be asked to submit questions through the webinar system. To sign up for either webinar, RVIA members should log in to their my.rvia.org account. Those without an account can use RVIA’s step-by-step directions on how to create one. After signing up, a link to join the webinar will be emailed on the morning of the webinar.
