ABILENE -- Memorial Health System (MHS) has acquired several new tools to help fight the spread of germs, including the COVID-19 virus.

For added assurance of patient, guest, and staff safety, hospital patient rooms and Heartland Health Care Clinic patient and waiting rooms are regularly being thoroughly cleaned by hand, and then cleaned again with the use of a UV-C disinfection device.

MHS is also utilizing a smaller device for disinfecting things like N95 masks, tools, even cell phones, and other devices.

The air circulating throughout the hospital is also being cleaned by ultraviolet lighting that has been installed in the air duct system.
