May Update From Our CEO

John Bardis

Most importantly, we hope you and your loved ones are safe, protected and caring for those around them. Our mantra is “Together we can beat this virus” and that is how we approach our response to COVID-19. As your partner, I want to provide you the confidence and assurance that ShareMD facilities and people are doing everything possible to defend against COVID-19.

The ShareMD response is centered around three pillars: people, facilities, and community.

From the people perspective, our ShareMD staff are operating under enhanced protocols that are based on protection, communications and compliance. All staff have been equipped with the appropriate PPE, trained on viral protection techniques and, most importantly, focused on the safety of our tenants and their clients/visitors. A major element of this is communications and ShareMD has been proactive in sharing the governmental agencies’ guidance, COVID-19 Protection Best Practices and education on COVID-19 symptoms. Early detection is critical.

At the core of ShareMD’s mission is being the provider of the next generation of medical facilities and, as part of that, is ensuring that anyone who comes to our properties are always safe, not just from COVID-19. To date, we have enacted a vigorous cleaning protocol in the frequency of applications and have migrated to high impact antimicrobial products for hand sanitizer stations in common areas and near elevators. To augment this, ShareMD is also deploying a microbiostatic (BioProtect 500) that is highly effective for three months and endorsed by the EPA. Lastly, ShareMD facilities have a signage strategy to remind guests of social distancing practices, symptom identification, and viral transmission prevention.

ShareMD has been active in our communities in support of the US COVID-19 response. Whether it’s leveraging our resources, sharing our best practices and developing leading technology, we view ShareMD’s mission as supporting the healthcare delivery system. ShareMD has helped leverage its relationships to procure millions of N95 Masks and has directly donated thousands to those in need including Senior Centers, Medical Practitioners, and those who are most vulnerable. With ShareMD Suites, we will soon be offering “re-opening” offices for healthcare professional displaced or without facilities due to the COVID-19 crisis. And finally, ShareMD is partnering with Lifeomic, a technology company, to deploy an “On Demand” version of Telemedicine and create new channels for care. We are proactively looking into our healthcare ecosystem and pursuing areas that drive efficiency and quality of care.

The good news is that many areas have seen the COVID-19 spread dissipate and there has been some relaxing of the restrictions. The re-opening activities are serious and is the difference between a major outbreak and returning to normal. Similar to our protection strategy, we have been routinely sharing best practices, techniques and protocols with those who come to a ShareMD facility. It is important to return to normal as soon as practical, but in a thoughtful, safe way. ShareMD will continue to be your ally in this effort.

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. Together, we can make it possible for you to be able to serve your patients in the best and safest way possible.

If I can be of service during these uncertain times, please contact me directly at jbardis@sharemd.com.

Sincerely,
John Bardis
