Oschner Health, one of the largest healthcare systems in Louisiana, saw a huge surge in accommodation requests when the pandemic hit. Some employees needed schedule accommodations due to caregiver commitments, while others who were at greater risk for COVID-19 needed to be switched to other workstations or rotations.
