Shout Out to: Jillian. Thank you so much for presenting very detailed and lifesaving information on the administration of Narcan to our faculty today. We appreciate your time and expertise, as well as your collaboration with our Nursing staff and Administration in developing policy details to ensure lifesaving Narcan is accessible/close to AEDs in our buildings while still in the midst of this epidemic.

Greene County Health Department
To All Staff at the Greene County Health Department: Back in November I was helping an immigrant family that needed vaccines so they could get their green cards. They live in Albany County, but we could not find a place for the youngest child, under 4 years old, to get his vaccines. I was referred to Greene County Health Dept. Everyone was so pleasant and helpful. I thought I was going to have to visit multiple places to get all the vaccines needed. When I mentioned this the staff said, "we are here to help you" and did all the vaccines. It was a stressful time, but you made it much easier. I just wanted you all to know how much that was appreciated. The nurses even gave winter hats for all four children in the family and bubbles for the youngest. Thanks again for all you do. It was the best experience during a stressful time.
