COVID-19 SPECIAL MOMENT – THANK YOU FROM SECRETARY COHEN AND GOVERNOR COOPER

Thank you for the sacrifices you make every day, and especially during this pandemic. The NCHCFA staff and our state leaders have the deepest gratitude and admiration for you and your staff for your dedication, commitment and courage to serve our most vulnerable population in this unprecedented crisis. Secretary Cohen states, “…particularly those working in our long term care facilities. What you do is so important. You are on the frontlines combating the spread of this virus.” Please click here to view the full message from the Governors Press Conference (UNC-TV Public Media North Carolina) on April 8, 2020!

We know this has been a challenging time for everyone: staff, residents and their loved ones. Our staff have seen the countless positive stories and creative special moments on social media and other outlets from our members that have been remarkably uplifting! We would like to capture these encouraging moments so that our entire membership can enjoy them during this difficult time.

We hope you will share your videos and/or photos, messages, etc. with us (ensure the privacy of residents and patients by acquiring the approval of patients and residents to use their images via authorization forms before sharing). Please send your special moments to Allison Dew at allisond@nchcfa.org. We look forward to sharing these uplifting memories with you in our next issue of Update and in the future.
