To the Editor:
On behalf of our board, staff, volunteers, and especially the patients and families we serve, I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has so generously supported Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Fairfield County during this public health crisis.
As a nonprofit home health and hospice agency, we have always counted on the generosity of those in the communities we serve. We are overwhelmed with gratitude by the outpouring of support for our COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund at this time of great need.
Our COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund helps to provide our clinicians with such vital resources as Telehealth equipment, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and emergency funding to care for those who are uninsured or underinsured.
We have also introduced our Ask a Nurse hotline to answer questions about health concerns during the pandemic. Members of the community are welcome to call 203-834-6341. ext. 500 or email us at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and a nurse will respond as quickly as possible.
This is a challenging time for everyone. Please be assured that Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Fairfield County is committed to remaining open and continuing to provide essential health services to the patients and families in our care. Thank you for your support.
