NHPR covers our first at home vaccine visit |
|
Cornerstone VNA’s COVID-19 Response Coordinator, June Gallup, RN, has been working closely with the State and Regional Public Health Networks as well as the Home Care, Hospice and Palliative Care Alliance of NH to coordinate vaccinations for our patients. We are now able to vaccinate our truly homebound patients, who cannot get to a fixed vaccine distribution site, and their eligible caregivers. In addition, June is managing a list of patients who have documented their desire to get vaccinated at home. On her first vaccination visit to one of our homebound patients, June was joined by Alli Fam, New Hampshire Public Radio Reporter (NHPR), who recorded this important milestone. |

Health Care Decisions Day - April 16th |
|
April 16 is National Healthcare Decisions Day, a day that recognizes the importance of Advance Directives. Defined by the Foundation for Healthy Communities, “Advance Directives are instructions you give regarding your future care. To ensure that everyone understands your instructions, the State of New Hampshire recognizes a written advance directive as a legal document with two parts: a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care and a Living Will.”
If you'd like to learn more, call our office at 800-691-1133 to speak to a Social Worker, or visit The Conversation Project online.
