CEO MESSAGE

OneWorld Loves Our Heroes After a year of challenges, the last month of 2020 was one of celebration as we received the Covid-19 vaccine to administer to our OneWorld staff. We are thankful to have been given the historic opportunity to be in the first phase of vaccine distribution.

The safety and health of our staff and patients is our top priority and we have been preparing for this moment. Our clinicians have been diligent in researching the vaccines with some even participating in clinical trials. We are proud of the dedication of all of our staff. They provide our patients exceptional care and have shown themselves to be true heroes throughout this pandemic, stepping up to help with whatever is needed. From the long hours to ensure patients are cared for to delivering food and essentials to patient families – the heart with which our OneWorld staff services the community is a reflection of our mission.

Andrea Skolkin, Chief Executive Officer

As we look forward to administering the Covid-19 vaccine to the public we will ensure that our patients regardless of immigration status, income, race, ethnicity, gender identity, language, disability, LGBT-QIA and so many more have access to the vaccine. Receiving the Covid-19 vaccine adds one more layer of protection against

the disease. If we use all the tools we have, we stand the best chance of “getting back to normal.” Being vaccinated, wearing a mask, staying six feet away from others, avoiding crowds and washing your hands are the tools we must use to “get back to normal”. Our personal and organizational decisions are key in protecting yourself, your coworkers, your family and your community.
