Current infection rate for Montgomery County: 26.15%. 

Screening

All Asbury Methodist Village associates will continue to screen and wear masks at all times while working across all levels of care on campus. We will continue to review this requirement regularly and will incorporate the CDC and local and state departments of health guidance for healthcare workers.

Please also notify Stephanie Sabine at 301-216-4337 or ssabine@asbury.org, so that we may begin immediate contact tracing.
