APPRECIATION EVENT~WAS SCHEDULED, BUT WAS CANCELLED DUE TO COVID.
Hello all,
We are canceling the Employer Appreciation Event scheduled for Friday, March 20th
2020 at 4pm here at Public Health. We hope to reschedule this event in October during
National Disability Employment Month.
I have enclosed some links about COVID-19 below. Public Health continues to ask community
members to stay calm, stay informed and take steps to protect their health and the health of
those around them.
March is National Developmental Disabilities Awareness
Month
In 1987, President Ronald Reagan declared a public proclamation –
dedicating the month of March to increasing public awareness
of the needs and potential of Americans with developmental disabilities.
The goal is for more people to be aware
of the need to include persons with developmental disabilities
in all areas of community life.
The goal is also to draw attention
to barriers people with disabilities sometimes face
when connecting to their communities.
Our focus is on housing, employment, and community living.
Please see the press release “COVID-19 Update for Jefferson County” at the following

The Jefferson County Public Health website has been updated with COVID-19 information. See

COVID-19 tests from Jefferson County and any confirmed cases. Public Health continues to ask
community members to stay calm, stay informed and take steps to protect their health and the
health of those around them.
