“It is in the shelter of each other that the people live.” - Irish proverb
This quote is extremely appropriate for these times we are in. As we are all sheltering in place it becomes all the more apparent how important connection is for us as human beings. We miss our children, grandchildren and all loved ones and friends more than we could have even imagined before. They are the lifeblood of our lives. The PVM staff feels that way about all of you. Your cards of appreciation have inspired us all.
This all seems so counterintuitive as we have always encouraged you to be engaged, get involved, and come together for fun, wellness and connection. Now we are insisting that you shelter in place. You have been doing a great job of this; and it is working! We are flattening the curve of this terrible disease known as COVID-19 or the Coronavirus. Please remember that you are not only protecting yourself but everyone else as well. And also remember that your administrators and staff are available to help you when needed. Also, our Wellness teams have created some very creative ways to stay engaged remotely. Check in with them. They are just a phone call away.
We appreciate very much your cooperation and support. Once we get through this we will celebrate in a very big way. We are one day closer to having this behind us. Better days are ahead!
