January 2025 report as well[.] [2] For MCI-Norfolk, the complete “Monthly Position Control and Vacancy Reports” … for July, August, September, December 2024 and now also January 2025, plus the missing data from the Position Control and Vacancy Reports covering October and November 2024 (as no data for the vacancies of either Nurse Practioners or Medical Director were included in the records sent on March 4, 2025). [3]... the additional monthly reports required to be sent from VitalCore to the ADC listing “all personnel who have been hired or who have been separated from employment during the previous month, including position numbers, titles, FTE, Facility, and shift for each such position” …. I now again request these section 3.5.9 reports for MCI-Norfolk for the months of July, August, September, October, November and December of 2024 and now also for January 2025.
