Homemade Masks
Many generous people throughout our community are helping address the challenges of this moment by sewing homemade masks. If you’re interested in lending a hand in this particular effort please click [here] for a few helpful tips.
Per the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and in compliance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, we are now providing residents of our skilled-nursing facility, the M.M. Ewing Continuing Care Center, with hand-sewn masks to wear when staff enter their rooms. Your donations help in this effort.
