Home Care Series

In the event of a pandemic or other public health emergency, a disruption in community and medical services is likely and resources will be strained. The goal of this series is to provide our communities with the educational resources they may need to shelter at home, thereby keeping the "worried well" out of acute care facilities. The Home Care Series provides information that will enhance the skills and confidence of participants to prepare for emergencies, handle illness, and provide basic home care.
