Let's Stay Informed. Lets Be Prepared.

Updated Dec. 2022

Coivid-19 is still here. The way we socialize now that started off as an  unfamiliar territory is now our everyday norm. As the world has reopened we are still facing remnants of behaviors that changed what used to be a friendly  hand shake, or an embracing hug between one another to a  now socially distant engagement form of greeting one another. We have been inundated with zoom meetings, and we are choosing to share endless memes for laughs to foster continuums of socialization with our friends. Todays, 2022 the country is under siege by covid, the flu virus and the return of RSV, a respiratory virus affecting more children. We are seeing increasing cases of infection in all three viruses and our hospitals are overwhelmed. We are still watching health professionals sacrifice  

themselves on the front line while we are still receiving mixed messages about testing and protecting ourselves. This is still a moment in history that will forever be marked by two very distinct outcomes, either our ability to understand and follow directions or our inability to work cohesively and consistently as a country that wants to stop the infection rate of these three viruses. 

People of color are still experiencing disproportionate increases in rates of infection, while others are losing their fight due to complications and lack of information.  We still experience lack of access to uniformed information. . Our elders and our special needs loved ones, are STILL an increasingly vulnerable population that we are responsible for in every sense of the word. We should still use caution in their presence. 

​

Unprecedented forces have put the world’s economy, the global population and the current state of policy and procedure in health care under red alert. We will continue to be in integrity with keeping our families and friends safe as we have been asked. It has been a challenging experience but we should continue being vigilant about staying infection free, by wearing a mask when we are sick or in spaces with many people indoors.

Need to find a testing location?  

* Health centers can assess whether a patient needs further testing, which may be done over the phone or using telehealth. Additionally, health centers provide services regardless of patients’ ability to pay and charge for services on a sliding fee scale.  

We will update this page as we get more information.
