No school health center, outpatient surgery medical center, kidney disease treatment center, stand-alone emergency care center, or stand-alone outpatient surgery center has requested an extension.
Wendelken said that while it is possible that the Department of Health will reject a facility’s request for an extension, it is unlikely to happen. Instead, the ministry would likely work with the facility to address its concerns.
Cranston dentist has 10 days to request a hearing
In the case of Cranston dentist Stephen Skoly, the service, in addition to ordering him to stop practicing, gave him 10 days to request a hearing.
The department discovered that Skoly, who specializes in maxillofacial surgery at the Chapel View shopping center, had made “various public statements, including statements published in video recordings,” indicating that he was not vaccinated and that he continued to practice dentistry.
