New Leave Management Site

If you need time away from work because of your own health

condition, to care for a sick or injured family member or for personal
reasons, there are leave programs that may help you. York is the
Leave Management program administrator for Johns Hopkins

Bayview Medical Center. York is available to answer any employee
questions regarding FMLA and LOA. They will provide you with

information about your leave status from the initial request through
the time you are due to return to work.

To contact York, call 1-844-263-3121 or visit timeoff.yorkrisk.com.

The HR Solution Center at 443-997-5400 is also available to answer
general questions about leave.

Preventing SSI in Interventional Radiology

In an effort to help create an environment more coducive to the

prevention of Surgical Site Infections (SSI), the interventional
suite is now under strict surgical attire restrictions.

• In semirestricted areas, such as the control room, you must
wear hospital laundered surgical scrubs or a white
disposable coverall.
• In restricted areas, such as the exam rooms when in use, you
must also wear a head cover, mask, and shoe covers.
Currently, there is a red cart located across the hall from the
door to the interventional suite control room where all the
necessary items, excluding surgical scrubs, can be found.
