On behalf of all of us here at DCPCA,
thank you
for all that you are doing to respond to the coronavirus health emergency. Your work is saving lives, particularly among our community's most vulnerable individuals and families.
We have postponed many of our trainings given new demands on health center staff. We are sending a separate weekly
COVID-19 newsletter
to our members with resources (including upcoming COVID-19 trainings and meetings) to inform clinical and operational decisions. If you need any support, please reach out to our team at
communications@dcpca.org
and we can direct you to a PCA staff person who can provide the appropriate response.
