New Vax Clinic For Castle
The COVID-19 vaccine clinic at Adventist Health Castle has moved to Wind- ward Mall.
COVID-19 vaccine will be offered to individuals 12 years old and older. Minors ages 12-17 require a parent or guardian’s consent. The vaccine clinic will be accept- ing walk-ins or appointments, which can be scheduled on- line at vagaro.com/adventis- thealthcastle2/classes.

“Adventist Health Cas- tle is pleased to continue to provide vaccines to our com- munity at our new location at Windward Mall,” states Ryan Ashlock, president of Adventist Health Castle.
Safety Grade is a national distinction recognizing Cas- tle’s achievements protecting patients from errors, injuries accidents and infections.
“This move enables us to kick off a critical project at our Adventist Health Cas- tle campus to meet the ex- panded service needs of our Windward community.”
“We encourage all those who have not been vacci- nated to visit us at the mall,” Ashlock advises.
Developed under the guid- ance of a national expert panel, Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses up to 27 measures of publicly avail- able hospital safety data to assign grades to more than 2,700 U.S. acute-care hospi- tals twice per year.
The vaccine clinic is locat- ed on the upper level of the mall near the movie theater and will be open noon-6:30 p.m. Tuesdays-Fridays, and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturdays.
“Getting vaccinated is safe, effective and crucial to ending this pandemic.”
“While we are expanding our services and providing complex, comprehensive care, we continue to tena- ciously chase zero harm for our patients and improve the well-being of the Windward community,” Ashlock adds.
The move comes on the heels of the hosptial’s re- cent A-grade recognition it received from The Leap- frog Group Hospital Safety Grade. This the third con- secutive year Castle has re-
