COVID Reflections: Coos County Nursing Home Administrator Lynn Beede

Great question, and not easily answered. Emergency preparedness starts in our homes, as individuals and families in the community, and it is governed by our values, morals, and belief systems.

Through education, compassion, caring, and understanding we are best able to support each other. It would be important for future generations to know about our community response, the importance of maintaining communication — organizationally and community-wide, transparency was key, and that we were all in it together — sleeves rolled up doing what was needed to help our neighbors.
