What you do matters. Choose wisely.
In a recent communication to company leadership, Chief Operating Officer, Amy Birkel, shared the many reasons why she chooses to take the vaccine when it's her turn.
*I choose to take this vaccine because the virus is bigger than me, but my participation can help stop it.
*I choose to take this vaccine for every resident in our communities and around the world. Whether or not they have had COVID-19, their lives have been forever changed by it.
*I choose to take this vaccine for every employee. I am eternally grateful for their unwavering commitment to our residents. They have my deepest respect, and not a day has gone by that I have not given thanks for their selfless service.
*I choose to take the vaccine because I am a mother. I want to teach my daughters that our choices can help change the world for the better. One person can make a difference.
*I choose to take this vaccine because working in healthcare means putting others before yourself.
*I choose to take this vaccine because I am committed to our core focus of helping others Live Better
