To CP-Unlimited Team Members,
The novel coronavirus pandemic we are now living through has made the last month an exceptionally difficult one for New Yorkers. The next month will be equally trying as this crisis appears unlikely to swiftly subside.
Dear Staff and Families,
We are now experiencing a health crisis unlike any other in our lifetime. COVID-19 is a non-discriminatory disease that impacts everyone, either directly by contracting the disease or indirectly by social distancing, staying at home, running out of essentials and all the other daily life changes that we are experiencing.
To All:
As we limit unnecessary travel, practice social distancing and wash our hands a LOT to limit the spread of COVID-19 here are some things to keep in mind ...
The leadership team would like to provide you with an update on our response to the crisis that is facing all of us. Before we provide the update, we want to express our deepest respect and gratitude to everyone working at CPU, Hudson Valley Division. The level of commitment, dedication, common purpose and sincere desire to be helpful to each other and the people we support is nothing short of inspiring.
