Van Doren:
2020 Is A Year
We Will Long Remember
|
|
Hunterdon County successfully met the extreme challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic throughout 2020, Freeholder Board Director Shaun C. Van Doren stated in an end of year wrap up report.
Van Doren said, “The year 2020 is one we will all long remember. The response to the health crisis by the county Health Department, our Office of Emergency Management, the Rescue Squads and First Responders, the CERT team, medical providers, physicians, nurses, hospital workers, long term care facility workers, local government officials, the law enforcement community, and so many others, has been and continues to be nothing less than heroic.”
Van Doren, recently re-elected to a new three-year term, pointed out, “The accomplishments are many. The distribution of hundreds of thousands of PPE (personal protective equipment), a term that was new in March, but has now become part of mainstream conversation, by the County to all entities and facilities that needed it.
