Our office is currently closed, while staff continue to work remotely.  All meetings are virtual. Check with individual staff for their availability.We are working to pivot our efforts to address the COVID-19 crisis.  Please read a message from Jessica Collins, Executive Director.

We want to thank all of the individuals and organizations in our region for joining us in the Blink Your Light campaign that started many months ago.  As the days grow longer, we are phasing out the #BlinkYourLight campaign, but please take action in other ways to thank our healthcare workers.
