| Items we need now |
Supplies for Home Care WorkersThe home care workers who provide essential services to homebound seniors in our region require masks and gloves in order to provide care. The agencies in our provider network who employ these workers are running low or are completely out of latex/medical gloves and masks. If you have any unopened boxes of gloves or unused masks that you would like to donate, please email [email protected] |

Great advice and info on #COVID19 vaccines from @hcollaborative and @OHdeptofHealth
Hesitation on something new is normal. What’s important is to gather your info from reputable sources, and weigh risks vs. benefits. When it comes to #COVID19, the vaccine benefits greatly outweigh potential risks. @OHDeptOfHealth Med Director, Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff, shares:
