As always, essential services like Public Safety, Center of Laboratory Animal Services, and clinical services must coordinate the observance of holidays (i.e., “adjusted holidays”) with managers. For example, Morehouse Healthcare – clinical services - may be unable to observe a holiday due to the way it falls during the week. In this circumstance, the EVP, Health Affairs and Dean, in collaboration with the Chief Medical Officer and appropriate clinical chair(s), will determine the schedules for Morehouse Healthcare’s offices and work with essential services employees to allow them to observe the holiday on another day.
