This holiday season, I want to express my gratitude to everyone in our region for doing your part to control the spread of COVID-19. And I ask you to please stay vigilant by continuing to practice masking, distancing and hand hygiene. While the arrival of the first vaccine is a gift we all welcome, let’s keep doing what we do best – looking out for each other – so we can celebrate the end of this pandemic together in the New Year.
