OHI Community Health Guidelines


The OHI Safety Bubble

If you’ve been receiving our emails, then you know we’ve been working hard to enhance our guests’ experience, while also providing a safer environment. We established community health guidelines for our on-campus community members – guests, missionaries and staff – making OHI the safest place to be outside of your home.

100% Safety Record = 9 Transmissions

We are proud to share with you that since the pandemic started, we have been tracking our safety record. Our safety record measures Covid-19 virus transmissions. At OHI San Diego, we have had only nine on-campus transmissions. We attribute our near-perfect safety record to the following protocols:

Our 3-step guest screening process:

  • Step 1 - At the time of reservation: We pre-screen to qualify guests for on-campus stays. Anyone experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms will be required to book their reservation 4 weeks after they are symptom-free.
  • Step 2 - Before guests arrive: We check in with our guests 3-5 days before their arrival to ensure they qualify to be on our campus.
  • Step 3 - On arrival: Per CDC protocols, we monitor temperatures of all incoming guests, using non-contact thermometers. We will continue to take guests’ temperatures at their request.
Covid-19 testing: We brought the entire Covid-19 surveillance testing process in-house. We perform testing on Sundays at check-in. All program participants, missionaries, and staff are required to participate in group/cohort testing, using a rapid, non-invasive, pain-free sampling method that detects coronavirus.
 
Face Masks: Within the indoor common areas, face masks are optional. However, if someone in the community tests positive during the week, then you may be required to wear a certified N95 face mask at the discretion of OHI.
 
Guests receiving colonic, massage, or chiropractic care are still required to wear a mask during the treatment. You are not required to wear a mask while in the privacy of your guest room. You can bring your own certified N95 face mask or use one provided by OHI. Face masks will be maintained without rips, tears, or holes and will be worn properly, fully covering your nose and mouth.
 
Smaller cohorts: We have fewer people on campus, including guests, staff and missionaries. OHI San Diego is limited to 60 guests on our 2-acre campus; OHI Austin is limited to 20 guests on our 14-acre campus.

Trained staff: From the moment we became aware of the COVID-19 back in March of 2020, our staff immediately established safety protocols for the OHI community:

  • We formed a compliance team to actively monitor the COVID-19 situation to ensure we not only follow the most-current CDC and county-prescribed safety protocols, but to ensure we exceed those standards.
  • Before each work shift, if one of our staff members or missionaries exhibit any symptoms of cold or flu, they do not come to work.
  • For those who do come to work - before every shift - each employee and missionary is required to take their temperature and if they exhibit a temperature of 100-degrees Fahrenheit or higher, they are sent home.

Food handling: Food is solely handled by our trained kitchen staff. Our kitchen staff wear gloves, face masks, and face shields during food preparation and during mealtime service.

Clean facilities: We follow a comprehensive safety plan that involves three major pillars: 1) minimizing infectious diseases from entering the OHI campus, 2) preventing the transmission of disease between community members, and 3) sterilizing the campus, guest rooms, and public areas to reduce the likelihood of disease transmission:

  • We use electrostatic spray disinfection systems and only safe, non-chemical cleaners in our guest rooms, common areas, and kitchens.
  • We have Molekule air purifiers in each guest room, classroom, and large common areas. These air purifiers destroy a wide range of pollutants, including allergens, volatile organic compounds, bacteria, mold, and viruses.
  • We increased sanitation in all of our departments across our campuses, Including regular cleaning of doorknobs, light switches, and other surfaces around our campuses. Additionally, we sanitize and deep-clean our kitchens and community bathrooms on a regular basis.
  • We put extra emphasis on keeping our dining hall and water stations sanitized before, during, and after mealtimes.
  • We continue to provide alcohol-based hand-sanitizer stations in a variety of places on our campuses (public bathrooms, classrooms, etc.) – especially areas that concern food (dining area, wheatgrass juice room, and food prep classrooms).

What’s New at OHI


A more intimate guest experience: We’ve recently taken this opportunity to create a more intimate guest experience by reducing the number of guests in our program. This means more private rooms are available. The flip side is that program space fills quickly. Therefore, we recommend booking 3 weeks in advance in order to get your preferred room.

Introducing the OHI for Life Wellness Room: We updated our guest rooms with these comfort and safety features:

  • 100% Organic Cotton Linens & Towels – When it comes to your sleep and your skin, we want to supply the healthiest options, so we updated all our bedding and towels with 100% organic cotton linens.
  • Fitted Sheets – And since we’re on the topic of new linens…we now have fitted sheets as part of our organic bed linens. Who knew this would make so many people so happy?
  • Wood Flooring – We replaced the carpet in our guest rooms with wood flooring.
  • Molekule Air Purifier – We outfitted each guest room and all large, indoor common areas with a Molekule air purifier. The Molekule air purifier uses Photo Electrochemical Oxidation (PECO) technology that destroys a wide range of pollutants, including allergens, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), bacteria, mold, and viruses – Yes, viruses too.
  • High-Speed Internet – We heard from many of you how important it is to stay connected to your family, your businesses, or important events. So, we installed high-speed internet in all guest rooms (10 Mbsp up/10 Mbsp down for each guest room).
  • Black-Out Shades – At OHI, we know sleep is one of the essential pillars of optimum health. All our guest rooms have black-out shades to support a good night’s sleep.
  • Updated Guest Bathrooms – We renovated all our guest room bathrooms.

Farm-to-table: 80% of the certified organic food in our kitchen is now farm-to-table – which means you’re consuming food at the peak of its season – it’s fresher, more nutritious and there are fewer people handling your food.

Colon Hydrotherapy – During the pandemic, there were times when OHE had to put a pause on their colonic hydrotherapy services because it was not overseen by a medical practitioner, and therefore it was not considered an “essential” business. Our colon hydrotherapy services are now supervised by Dr. James Novak, a local holistic doctor.

Benefits of Being at OHI


Safe and Sacred Environment:
Where better to eat healthy food, be in a positive and supportive environment, limit your exposure to contaminants in the outside world, all while boosting your immune system?

Mild Weather Climate:
San Diego is known for having one of the best climates in the world with beautiful weather year-around. San Diego is the same distance from the equator as Greece, Portugal, Spain, and southern Italy – giving it a highly-desirable Mediterranean climate.

Come to OHI San Diego and experience mild climates during spring, summer, fall and winter. 

OHI Program: Since 1976, we’ve been teaching holistic healing practices. And so, during this time, these top 5 practices are more relevant than ever:

    1. Remain calm – Practice Alpha technique in any form that speaks to you (meditation, journaling, conscious breathing, singing, etc.)

    2. Drink water – Stay hydrated and keep bodily fluids flowing.

    3. Eat healthily – Increase your daily intake of fresh, organic vegetables, sprouts, seeds and fruit. Get your daily doses of essential vitamins and nutrients, like vitamins A, C and D—the go-to vitamins for boosting the immune system. To better absorb your vitamins, be sure to take your daily doses of zinc, magnesium and potassium.

    4. Exercise – Movement helps keep breath and bodily fluids flowing, which in return strengthens your immune system. Just do it—but at a distance. Stay at least 6 feet away from other walkers, joggers or hikers if you go out. And while you’re at it, be sure to get your time in the sun and soak up that vitamin D – another immune booster!

    5. Stay connected – While physical distancing is a smart practice these days, so is staying connected. There are plenty of ways to stay connected online. If online social media isn’t your thing, then pick up the phone and call a loved one.

All of these practices will help boost your immune system – keeping you healthy and safe.

Advanced Bookings


In order to keep us all safe, we reduced the number of spaces in our program – resulting in a guest experience that is more intimate. But space fills-up quickly.  Therefore, we recommend booking 3 weeks in advance in order to get your preferred room.

If you’re considering a stay with us, call us and we’ll talk it through with you. We want to assure you the safety of our community members is our highest priority.
