COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare that we were unprepared for this event. With our economy grinding to a screeching halt in an effort to prevent the spread of the disease, workers are now without paychecks and small businesses are collapsing. Our healthcare system is ill-equipped to handle the testing requirements and the sick patients. Retirement funds have evaporated and people are scared. In an effort to assist you in navigating our new, social distancing lives, we have developed a list of resources to whom you can reach out to for support and guidance. Additionally, our team is also working on a comprehensive set of policies to set in place once Cathy reaches Harrisburg to ensure we are prepared for the next pandemic event.
