FLU SEASON IS HERE!

You are hearing it everywhere, but you have to hear of it from one more place–IEC!

Monday the 26th and Tuesday the 27th there were only two employees in our office–the Executive Director and the Administrative Assistant.  Now, Wednesday, the Administrative Assistant is out though one of our two Facilitators is back and so is the Independent Living Advocate, both rejoining the Executive Director.

We are asking three things–

!) Call ahead to make an appointment, rather than just dropping by. 

2) Call the day of your appointment to make sure the person you want to see is here

3) Do not come in if you are experiencing any flu-like symptoms.

We always fight the stereotype that says “people with disabilities are not well” because, generally, we are–disability does not equate with illness. But, it is often true that if we get sick, it often means we have more than the average battle to regain our health.

So, it is time to plan ahead.  Let your fingers do the walking–don’t just drop in.  Sharing is okay unless it’s germs you are sharing.

Thank you.
