“This funding allows us to purchase the required personal protective equipment for staff and residents which is critical to minimizing the exposure and spread of the virus. It also reduces the social isolation residents have felt by virtually connecting them with family and friends using the newly purchased iPads,” Lisa Betrus, president of the Valley Health & Residential Services, said in a statement.
