As we all adjust to the changes in our lives as a result of COVID-19, I am pleased to announce that Mary Washington Healthcare will be hosting a virtual town hall to address questions and concerns about the impact of this pandemic.
 
Mary Washington Healthcare is convening a panel of experts to host a virtual town hall on the serious public health issue of COVID-19.  As the nation is in an unprecedented pandemic, it is the responsibility of our local healthcare leadership to provide timely information to our community. 
 
This virtual town hall, open and free to the public, will take place live on the Mary Washington Healthcare’s Facebook page (https://facebook.com/events/s/virtual-community-town-hall/2760197430760583/?ti=ia), April 1, 2020 at 7:00 pm. A recording of the event will be available on Mary Washington Healthcare’s YouTube channel and on other media platforms. 
 
Michael McDermott, MD, MBA, President and CEO of Mary Washington Healthcare & Chair of Virginia Hospital & Healthcare Association (VHHA); Christopher Newman, MD, Chief Operations Officer and Chief Medical Officer of Mary Washington Healthcare; and Donald Stern, MD, Interim Rappahannock Area District Director and former acting State Commissioner of Health, will share pertinent information, clinical perspectives, and community resources as well as take questions live from the audience.   
 
It is important to note that although this is a virtual town hall, you can still be connected.  In fact we want you to be well connected! Our healthcare community and professionals have various needs, and we want to address them.
