RAPID CITY, S.D. – Monument Health said Saturday that it is temporarily closing its John Vucureich Cancer Care Institute for cleaning.
A deep clean of the entire Cancer Care Institute is being completed before reopening on Tuesday, March 31, at 6:30 a.m.
If a patient needs to receive treatment during this time, the Medical Oncology and Radiation Oncology Medical Directors have developed plans to continue cancer treatment for their patients.
Non-procedural patient care visits are being completed via telehealth.
The deep clean follows the positive COVID-19 test of a caregiver at the Institute this past week. That caregiver had interaction with some 100 patients.
