BRC is concerned for your health.
We want to make you aware that we have distributed cold and flu stations throughout our community. Cold and flu stations are equipped with gloves, masks, and bactericidal hand cleanser.
Please be mindful of any signs or symptoms that you or a guest may exhibit that would require the use of our stations. Let's join together to keep everyone who lives, works, volunteers and visits our community safe and healthy.
A special thank you to our Director of Well-Being and Engagement, Laura Spicer, for her support and guidance to implement this process successfully.
Barb Frye, RN, BSN Director of Nursing
