Piedmont leaders, including managers, as well as physicians, providers and new employees, are required to be fully vaccinated, as of Sept. 1, “with a few rare exceptions,” according to a statement shared with Becker’s July 12.

“This is in keeping with our policy of requiring proof of vaccination or titers confirming immunity to Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella for new employees and in requiring the annual flu vaccine for all current employees,” the health system said. “The rest of our Piedmont family will be required to be fully vaccinated in the near future.”

Piedmont, an 11-hospital health system, is among the latest organizations to announce a vaccine mandate. Read more about other hospital and health system mandates here.  

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
