COLUMBUS – Mount Carmel shared a statement today that all employees of the hospital will be required to have vaccinations against COVID-19.
“Safety is one of our Core Values.

Now that we have a proven way to prevent COVID-19 deaths, we are not hesitating to do our part.”
Vaccinations will be required by the end of 2021 according to the press release. Mount Carmel is part of Trinity Health who announced the changes.
