St. Johnland Nursing Center of Kings Park, New York will be able to screen visitors using an Accushield health screening kiosk, thanks to a gift from the Townwide Fund of Huntington, according to a press release.

CEO Mary Jean Weber welcomed Townwide Fund President-Elect Greg Kennedy, Executive Director Alice Marie Rorke, grants chair Janice Whelan and board member Jim Powers at the installation and dedication of the kiosk in the lobby of the nursing center.

The Accushield kiosk will automatically scan staff and visitors for a temperature check and ask a series of health questions that will allow for improved safety measures and contact tracing.
