Baptist Health Hardin employees, supporters protest policy change
Elizabethtown -- Several employees of Baptist Health Hardin were joined Wednesday morning by members of the community in front of the hospital for a protest about a recent policy change by the health care system.
According to an email Monday to employees from Baptist Health CEO Gerard Colman, the company now will require all employees without exemptions to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
“The pandemic will not end without more of us receiving the vaccine,” Colman said in the email. “For this reason — and to support our mission to serve others — Baptist Health has decided to require all staff members to receive the vaccine.”
The email said that 65 to 75% of employees of the health care system, which includes Baptist Health Hardin, already have been vaccinated.
