LOCAL NEWS

Good news for you!

The good news this month is that the COVID-19 vaccine should be widely available to American adults by May of this year. After a long year of strife, loss, confusion, and sickness, it seems that healing and hope are on the way. As of March 3rd, 16% of Americans have received their 1st dose of the vaccine, and 8% of Americans are fully vaccinated. Find more information about vaccines, trends, and data here.

MENTAL HEALTH BREAK

Take some time to focus on your mind

As we reach the anniversary of the pandemic, we recognize the magnitude of the last year. It was a year filled with unimaginable loss and sacrifice, and we walked a long way in darkness before finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Take stock of what you’ve lost, what you’ve gained, and perspectives that have changed in your life. For some, this year took away loved ones and destroyed livelihoods. For others, this year was filled with birth, firsts and gratitude. For most of us, this year showed us a different set of plans than we’d had in mind for ourselves. As we recognize this sensitive time, have extra compassion for yourself and your neighbors.
