Hi everybody I just wanted to take a little bit of time to check in on all the amazing Health Department staff. I know that through this holiday season we experience a lot of illnesses both with our staff and also with their loved ones.

So I want to remind you all that, if you're not feeling well or you need to care for a loved one, please feel no pressure to come to work if it works out for you to work from home, and you can check with your supervisor on that feel feel free to explore that option, as you may or may not know, I have a new baby granddaughter. Her name is Solana and she is just a little over two weeks. Old and I am doing everything I can to keep her safe.

We know that our hospitals are stressed right now, especially our children's hospitals, with an increased surge in RSV and other respiratory illnesses. So please get your flu shot, get your covet booster, wear your mask, wash your hands and be mindful of others in this holiday time. Thank you. So much and I hope you you're having a great day.
