The Importance of Teamwork: Week of October 29th, 2021

Students, Faculty, Residents, Staff, Alumni, Board Members and Friends,

Good morning from a windy and cloudy Elkins Park campus where the leaves are falling everywhere and the weather definitely feels like Fall!

MSCHE: As I noted yesterday, we successfully completed our Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) site visit yesterday with no required follow-up issues and accolades on several of our academic and non-academic processes. This was truly a team effort which allowed us to display the best of Salus during this process! We are Salus Strong because of all of you! More about this later….

THE BATTLE AGAINST CANCER: Check out this story on how PCO/Salus alum Kailee Watson, OD ‘12, and her connections to the University played a major role in a young patient’s battle against cancer. Dr. Watson describes how the experience helped reinforce her decision to come to PCO/Salus. Read the story here.

STAFF SPOTLIGHT: Our next Staff Spotlight is on Lindsey Cardillo, HRIS administrator in our Human Resources department. Lindsey says what she loves most about her job is interacting with the different employees and departments at Salus. Read more about Lindsey here.

STUDENTS AT LEISURE: Our next Students At Leisure (SAL) story features Ariella Erin Poon ‘24OD and the special way she commemorated the White Coat ceremony, which was virtual for her class because of the pandemic. Instead of dwelling on something that was beyond anyone’s control, Ariella made the most of it. Read how here.

ULTIMATE TREAT EVENT: Don’t forget about “The Ultimate Treat Event,” sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs, from noon to 1:30 p.m. today. Stop by the lobby table outside the cafeteria to pick up some Halloween treats, play trivia and have a chance to win some prizes.

AUDIOLOGY GRAND ROUNDS: The next Audiology Grand Rounds will be today at 12:15 p.m. Jessica Heritage and Jenna Jalowiec will speak on “Hybrid Cochlear Implant Use for Hearing Loss Caused by Ototoxicity.” Click here to join the presentation.

RESIDENT CLASS OF 2022: This week’s resident story features Chandni Patel, OD ‘21, ’22 Resident, whose personal experience with how her vision change in high school influenced her to become an optometrist. Read more about Dr. Patel here.

WALK4HEARING EVENT: The Salus University chapter of the Student Academy of Audiology (SAA) recently participated in the Walk4Hearing, where it raised a total of $1,635 (tripling its original goal of $500). The proceeds will go to the Hearing Loss Association of America, an organization focused on advocating and providing educational programs for individuals with hearing loss.

THE COLLEGE TOUR CAST: Continuing to spotlight the cast of The College Tour, meet Tavii El, MSOT ‘21, a Doctor of Occupational Therapy student at Salus, who became so enmeshed in student life while on campus that it only made sense for her to talk about Student Life during The College Tour segment. Read more here.

FLU SHOTS: It’s flu season and if you have not already gotten your flu shots, please take the time to get one this weekend. We want to keep everyone healthy!

FINAL THOUGHTS: Teamwork is integral to everything we do in healthcare. Organizationally, the importance of working together as a team is no less important. It’s been my experience that working together as a team provides opportunities for people to improve relations and professionally bond with one another over specific projects they undertake, besides accomplishing tasks more efficiently and effectively. Working through our Self-study and culminating with the site visit earlier this week, certainly provided us with these opportunities.

One other important result of working as a team is that members develop a greater sense of personal and professional accountability, as they don’t want to let their other team members down. We certainly exhibited all of these attributes as we worked through the MSCHE self-study process, in an exceptional way! We learned a great deal about ourselves that can be leveraged well into our future.

Each recommendation for improvement that was identified in our Self-Study presents opportunities for us to continually improve, which, ultimately is why we do all of this.

In the end, the fact that we had a successful MSCHE site visit comes as no surprise to me. Throughout my Navy and now academic career, I've had the good fortune to have served on several great teams, and the team we have at Salus is as good, if not better, than any of them. Whether it was how we transitioned to virtual teaching and learning at the beginning of the pandemic, created virtual commencement and white coat ceremonies, developed new relationships with local, state and national politicians or successfully worked through the MSCHE re-accreditation process, we have demonstrated we can operate as an effective team - I cannot thank you all enough for that! You are rock stars and together, make us the great institution we are today.

Have a restful and safe weekend - you all deserve it! Sunday is Halloween, so if you happen to go out trick or treating, please remember to wear your face masks when out and about (especially when indoors with lots of people around), wash your hands frequently and socially distance when you can. Stay safe, continue to look out for one another and remain SALUS STRONG!

The Importance of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Healthcare: Week of October 22nd, 2021

Dear Students, Faculty, Residents, Staff, Alumni, Board Members and Friends, 

Good morning on a beautiful Fall morning from our Elkins Park campus! It’s hard to believe that October is almost gone with Halloween just a week away. As you will see below, our students, faculty and staff have had an extremely busy week between routine classes, both in-person and virtually, labs and clinics as well as some very special events:

MSCHE SITE VISIT: After countless hours were spent preparing our accreditation self-study report, we will host our site visit team virtually next week. Thanks to all who participated in preparing our self-study and to our steering committee and standard representatives who will be participating in question and answer sessions. You should all be very proud of your efforts in demonstrating how Salus meets its accreditation requirements. A special thank you to co-chair Brooke Kruemmling for leading our efforts.

NEW DEI SERIES KICKOFF: I hope you got a chance to attend or watch live-streamed on Instagram our new event series for the Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, DEI Speaks! This series seeks to explore and share with the University community, diverse topics, speakers and events that will illuminate differences in cultural perspectives, sharpen understanding of interconnectedness, and provide educational enrichment of the highest quality. The inaugural event, co-sponsored by our very own Pennsylvania College of Optometry (PCO), was held this week and featured Paula Harmon Boone, OD, Director of the National Optometric Association (NOA) “Visioning the Future” HBCU Mentorship Program and NOA Trustee for Region I, who talked about “Diverse Representation Matters in Healthcare.” 

COMMENCEMENT FOLLOW-UP: If you haven’t already had a chance, check our website for stories about last week’s commencement ceremony at the Kimmel Center, our Graduate Awards Luncheon and the Physician Assistant (PA) Studies program’s Long White Coat ceremony and a feature on one of our legacy families.

SOCIAL MEDIA STAR: Shanae Johnson, an Admissions officer at Salus before leaving at the end of September, has always liked to cook. So TikTok videos were a way for Shanae to share some of what she learned about making her favorite dishes and recipes. And now, she’s a social media star. Read more about Shanae’s journey here.

STAFF SPOTLIGHT: This week’s Staff Spotlight is on Caren Cremen, a digital communications specialist in our Communications department. Caren loves seeing student-generated content on our social media sites and part of her role is reaching out to students to share that content. Read more about Caren here.

SUPPORT THE SAA: Come support the Student Academy of Audiology (SAA) at its “Dine and Donate” fundraiser from noon to 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 21, at White Horse Coffee and Creamery, 700 W. Ave, Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. 

AUDIOLOGY GRAND ROUNDS: Don’t forget about today’s Audiology Grand Rounds today at 12:15 p.m. Presenters Zachary LaBarth and Carleigh Leman will talk about the “Sudden Onset of Tinnitus, Hyperacusis and Hearing Loss." Click here to join the meeting.

RESIDENT CLASS OF 2022: This week’s new resident feature is on Elizabeth Marunde, OD, ‘22Resident, who decided at an early age to become an optometrist. Read more about Dr. Marunde here.

MEDAL WINNER FEATURE: The final winner spotlight in our 2021 Presidential Medal of Honor series is John J. Fitzgerald III, DO, FACOG, associate director of the Physician Assistant (PA) Studies program. Read more about Dr. Fitzgerald's honor in receiving the award and how much the recognition means to him here.

FINAL THOUGHTS: I’d like to close this week’s update with both a thank you and a reminder. I’d like to take this opportunity to once again thank Dr. Paula Boone for spending the day with PCO students and faculty to share her story of success as a Black optometrist leading the charge to provide excellent eye care where ever she was. For those of you who didn’t have the opportunity to meet Paula, you really missed an opportunity to remind us how inequities in healthcare impact thousands of people annually. Her message spoke to the core of what we are trying to accomplish at Salus – expand opportunities for all people, but especially Black, Hispanic and other people of color to become healthcare professionals so they can help to alleviate some of the systemic challenges currently resident in American healthcare delivery.

Our current Summer Enrichment Program has been a great first step in providing opportunities for students to excel in our optometry program. I’d like to see this expanded, university-wide as we gain more insights into how effective this program has been. Thanks to a grant we received from National Vision, Inc. last year, we have been able to energize our current program. Working together, we need to garner additional support so we can effectively build upon the success this program currently enjoys. At Salus, we’ve always led the way with our innovative and progressive clinical programs and now I believe it’s our time to take the lead in providing additional opportunities FOR students of color, whose path to becoming a healthcare provider is challenging, at best. Let’s put our collective efforts together to help realize this goal.

As you prepare for the weekend, please continue to be vigilant with wearing your face mask, social distancing and washing your hands. Boosters have now been approved for all of the vaccines so, if you are eligible (and most of us are as healthcare providers, including our students), I would strongly encourage each of you to consider getting one.

Be safe, please continue to look out for one another and remain SALUS STRONG!

The Importance of "Thinking Bigger": Week of October 15th, 2021

Students, Faculty, Residents, Staff, Alumni, Board Members and friends,

Greetings on a delightful Fall morning from our Elkins Park Campus. It’s been an exciting, fun and busy week for all of us, especially those who participated in the Physician Assistant Long White Coat ceremony and our first in-person commencement ceremony since the pandemic began in March, 2020! We had the opportunity to celebrate some members of the Class of 2020 as well as the Class of 2021 during the festivities as well as hear an extremely inspiring message from our honorary degree recipient, the Honorable Alison Beam, Acting Secretary of Health for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Check our website for stories on the Kimmel Center ceremony, our Graduate Awards Luncheon and the Physician Assistant Studies program’s Long White Coat ceremony.

NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY: We celebrated National Coming Out Day on Oct. 11, a day that recognizes the milestones of being seen and heard and the continued strides for equity and respect, specific to the LGBTQ+ communities. The day allowed us to continue to raise awareness for individuals within the LGBTQ+ community, and combat the silence that often breeds homophobia and the hierarchy of sexual orientation and identity norms. National Coming Out Day originated 33 years ago with a march on Washington for lesbian and gay rights, and has been celebrated in all 50 states since 1990.

GRAND ROUNDS: Audiology Grand Rounds will be today (Friday, Oct. 15) at 12:15 p.m. The topic is “Navigating Patient Comorbidities and Subjectivity,” presented by Alexander Wozniacki and Luke Obenrader. Click here to join the meeting. 

IMPACT HBCU: On Tuesday evening Drs. Trego, Mosley-Williams and I had the opportunity to participate in Impact HBCU, where over 300 attendees from Historically Black Colleges and Universities and other undergraduate schools were able to learn about optometry, PCO, Salus DEI efforts, our Summer Enrichment Program and certain aspects of the optical industry. It was an informative and fun event!

STAFF SPOTLIGHT: The Staff Spotlight this week is on Joe Noce, who works in the University bookstore. Joe has been playing in a classic rock/blues band for nearly 30 years. To read more about Joe, click here.

THE INSPIRATION CENTER: Join Robert Serianni, MS, CCC-SLP, FNAP, the chair and program director of the department of Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) at Salus University, as he moderates a podcast that focuses on The Inspiration Center, a community therapy organization in the country of Belize, where physical, occupational and speech therapists work with the families in Belize with children from birth through 16 years of age. He is joined by the students and the speech pathologists from the program who had the opportunity to cross borders to provide speech pathology care in areas of great need. Click here to listen.

PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL WINNER: In our continuing series featuring the individual Presidential Medal of Honor winners for 2021, read more here about Reade Fahs, Chief Executive Officer of National Vision Inc. and a member of our Board of Trustees since 2017.

THE COLLEGE TOUR CAST: In another continuing feature for us, “Meet the Cast of The College Tour,” we introduce you to Samantha Wereszczak ‘22PA. Samantha was a respiratory therapist working on the frontlines of the Medical ICU where she experienced working collaboratively with other healthcare disciplines, which is what initiated her decision to start her path at Salus to become a physician assistant. Read more about her here.

RESIDENT CLASS OF 2022: This week’s new resident feature is on Bailey Ford, OD, ‘22Resident. Because she had such great experiences with her eye doctors, Dr. Ford wanted to be the best doctor she could be for her patients. She believed that pursuing a residency would ensure that, especially at PCO/Salus. Read more about Dr. Ford here.

FINAL THOUGHTS: As we celebrated our graduates on Tuesday, I was extremely pleased to hear that one of Secretary Beam’s recommendations to our graduates, as well as all of us listening, was to, “think bigger.” As she mentioned the challenges of “inequitable healthcare, stalled education, hungry families, oversubscribed mental health and unemployment,” Secretary Beam challenged us to use this “once in a lifetime experience” to take “preconceived, rigid constructs and turn them on their head”. Noting that the pandemic has exposed many of the challenges that have existed for a while but surfaced because everything was so stressed.

Let’s try to capitalize on Secretary Beam’s wisdom and challenge what many have always accepted as societal norms and work to develop creative and effective solutions that will serve to improve the lives of all those we are entrusted to care for. Much of that work starts here, at Salus. We are committed to working towards improving access to quality equitable healthcare for everyone. For example, ensuring those students that did have their education “stalled,” have good vision, hearing and important tactile skills to succeed, and screening and appropriately referring those we find have food insecurity or mental health challenges. The care we provide must be holistic, integrated and empathetic.

As I told our graduates on Tuesday, and Secretary Beam also noted during her remarks, they’ve all been given a great gift – and this is their time to transform all they have learned into something that will positively affect the lives of all those they will care for. While each graduate will confront these challenges differently, they all will be extremely successful. For those of us remaining behind, our gift will be to operationalize these lessons as we care for our patients and clients in all of our clinics, seek to innovate our programs to apply lessons learned during the pandemic and to continue to push the envelope of excellence in everything we do.

As you prepare for the weekend, please take the time listen to Secretary Beam’s comments on our website to hear them first hand. Continue to wear your face mask when around others, vaccinated or not, wash your hands frequently and socially distance when you can. When you have the alternative, I highly encourage you not to eat inside when going to restaurants or bars. Take advantage of the nice weather while we have it! Remember, what you do off campus really does affect all of us on campus. Have a great weekend. Be safe, be smart, look out for one another and remain SALUS STRONG!

The Importance of Practicing Mutual Respect: Week of October 8th, 2021

Students, Faculty, Residents, Staff, Alumni, Board Members and Friends,

Good morning from our Elkins Park campus on a very nice Fall morning. The campus has been extremely busy between welcoming guests, conducting interviews and holding in-person classes and labs. On Wednesday, we had the honor to host Dr. Kim McCurdy, the Bureau Director of Post-Secondary and Adult Education for the Pennsylvania Department of Education where we had the opportunity to show her around our Elkins Park campus and tell her all about Salus. Here are some other things that are happening that you might be interested in:

BACK AT THE KIMMEL!: We’re looking forward to being back at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia for commencement next week at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 12. (A reminder that the Kimmel Center requires proof of vaccination to enter the building.) Read more about our keynote speaker Alison Beam, Acting Secretary of Health for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, here. The day before commencement on Monday, Oct. 11, we will have the Fall Graduate Luncheon starting at noon at Presidential Caterers. The evening before commencement, we will also have the PA Long White Coat ceremony at 5:30 p.m. in the Hafter Center. 

SAFE ONLINE HOLIDAY SHOPPING: Let me add my voice to the reminder we got from our Department of Technology and Learning Resources about October being Cybersecurity Month. The United States Cyber Security & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has posted a helpful list of tips and tricks to keep us all safe with our online holiday shopping. Please take a moment and read these tips and tricks here. 

MEDAL WRAP-UP: Coming off our Presidential Medal and Alumni Association awards ceremony last week, I’d like to draw your attention to three stories on our website. First, the story on the ceremony itself, which you can read about here. Then, a story on the recognition we gave to longtime Board of Trustees chair Jo Surpin, which you can read here. And finally, a feature on one of the 2021 medal winners, Dr. Sarah Appel, which you can read here. Once again, congratulations to all of our winners.

STAFF SPOTLIGHT: This week’s staff spotlight features Jackie Todaro, who works in the Osborne College of Audiology. To read more about Jackie, click here.

RESIDENT CLASS OF 2022: This week’s new resident feature is on Anthony Boyd, OD, ‘22Resident, who discovered his love for optometry when he started working as an optometric technician at a private practice. What he didn’t immediately realize was that accepting the technician job was “the moment” that would solidify his future. Read more about Dr. Boyd here.

RETURN TO GUATEMALA: Nine students from the Physician Assistant (PA) Studies program and one from the Occupational Therapy (OT) program, along with two PA faculty members, were in Guatemala from Aug. 21 through Aug. 29, our first mission trip since the pandemic started. To read more about this great experience for our students, click here. 

AUDIOLOGY GRAND ROUNDS: The next virtual Audiology Grand Rounds will be today (Oct. 8) at 12:15 p.m. Jenna Putnam and Courtney Luikert, both from the Class of 2023, will present on “Hidden Hearing Loss.”

FINAL THOUGHTS: It is an understatement to say that the past 19 months have been extremely challenging and stressful for all of us. I also recognize that the normal demands of learning new professions, teaching, providing clinical care and even challenges in our personal lives can occasionally lead to additional stress. These stressors can cause people to behave in ways they normally would not, sometimes manifesting in disrespectful interactions between people.

We have always been committed to equity, inclusion and providing a respectful environment to teach, learn and work at Salus and I want that to continue to be the norm, as it’s been a hallmark of what we believe.

Most recently, however, I have seen or experienced several examples of where stress may have gotten the better of people, with respect for one another or differences of perspective not being regarded. We often talk about being an institution that teaches how to cure, and in so doing, we also teach how to care. I would hope that we can transfer those values of cure and care in all that we do — with our patients and clients, of course, but also in our encounters with one another. We can all benefit from being more mindful in our communication and interactions, considering how it will impact our community members. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “Every human being, of whatever origin, of whatever station, deserves respect. We must each respect others even as we respect ourselves”. We all should take these words to heart in our daily interactions.

If you are feeling stressed and would like to talk with one of our counselors, students can make appointments on the Center for Personal and Professional Development (CPPD) page on our website. Faculty and staff, can contact Human Resources. For those benefit eligible employees, Unum has an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) that provides unlimited access to consultants by telephone, in addition to other resources.

As you prepare for this weekend and the busy next week with Fall commencement and other associated activities, please try to reflect on the importance of mutual respect, care and concern for one another.

Enjoy the good weather. When you go out and about, please remember that what you do off campus affects all of us on campus. So, please wear your face mask when going inside and if you’re around large numbers of people outside. Be safe, be smart and remain SALUS STRONG!

Building Resilience: Week of October 1st, 2021

Students, Faculty, Residents, Staff, Alumni, Board Members, and Friends,

Greetings on a rather crisp Friday morning! It’s been another busy week, both on and off campus, for many of us. I just returned from two days in Harrisburg and one day in Washington, DC, where I had the honor of presenting Acting Secretary of Health Alison Beam with an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree for her extraordinary work in helping to keep all Pennsylvanians safe during the pandemic, followed by a meeting with Senator Jake Corman where I had the opportunity to discuss the importance of all of our professions practicing to the highest limits of their training. The last leg of my trip in DC I participated in a meeting addressing Veteran’s health issues, which was extremely interesting. In addition to my travels, below are some important things I’d like you all to be aware of:

GIVING WEEK: Join us for our third annual Salus Giving Week, Oct. 4-8, 2021, by supporting funding for student scholarships, capital improvements, and community outreach. With your donation of any size, we can make sure that we continue providing high quality education to all of our students and serve our neediest communities. In addition, for our employees, your gift can be a one-time donation or you can choose to contribute via payroll deduction and spread it out over time. The employee campaign dovetails with Salus Giving Week. If you submit a donation form by Thursday, Oct, 7, you will be entered for a chance to win one of three prizes: Apple TV; Facebook Portal; or Frameo Digital Photo Frame. For more information, click here.

FREE DEPRESSION SCREENINGS: CPPD is offering free, brief depression screenings on Thursday, October 7 (National Depression Screening Day) from 10-3 in W-300C with Dr. Tami April-Davis.

CLOSING IN ON COMMENCEMENT: A reminder that fall commencement is right around the corner — at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 12 — and we’ll be back at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts for the ceremony. Our guest speaker and honorary degree recipient will be Alison Beam, Acting Pennsylvania Secretary of Health. Check our website for details.

O&P DIRECTOR ON BOARD: J. Chad Duncan, director of our new Orthotics and Prosthetics (O&P) program, has arrived on campus and is hard at work on the details of building the program from the ground up. He comes to us from Northwestern University in Chicago where he was the director of the Prosthetics and Orthotics (P&O) program at the university. The Northwestern P&O program is the oldest and one of the most distinguished programs in the country. Read more about Dr. Duncan here.

WELL-DESERVED HONORS: It was a pleasure to see everyone and honor Presidential Medal and Alumni Association award winners from the past two years earlier this week at Morris Arboretum. Aside from commencement, this is my favorite ceremony, and we were able to do it face-to-face this year. Our staff is so special, they work hard on behalf of the students and patients and they all deserve the recognition that they’ve gotten. We also honored longtime Board of Trustees chair Jo Surpin. Look for stories about the ceremony and Jo on our website next week.

MEDAL WINNER FEATURE: Speaking of which, we’ll be featuring all the 2021 Presidential Medal winners in separate stories on our website over the next few weeks. Leading off is Giri Sundar, MPHil, PhD, CCC-A, FAAA, who drew the biggest laughs of the evening when she described being told that she was a medal winner. Read more about Dr. Sundar here.

RESIDENT CLASS OF 2022: Get to know one of our newest residents, Wayne Tan, OD ‘21, ‘22Resident, who was born in the city of Guangdong, Kaiping China, and immigrated to Baltimore, Maryland, when he was 10 years old. Coming to America at that age was challenging for Dr. Tan as he had to assimilate to a whole new culture. Find out more about his journey to PCO/Salus here.

SLP PODCAST, PART TWO: Join Robert Serianni, MS, CCC-SLP, FNAP, the chair and program director of the department of Speech-Language Pathology at Salus University, in part two of a podcast Q&A as he speaks with an externship supervisor and a student, now an alum, that she's worked with. Read more or listen here.

GRAND ROUNDS: The next Grand Rounds at The Eye Institute (TEI) will be from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. Friday, Oct. 8. The topic will be "Myopia Control Update" with Dr. Nicholas Gidosh. Click here for more information.

FINAL THOUGHTS: I’d like to spend just a few minutes talking about resilience. Resilience is the ability to effectively cope with adversity and bounce back from challenges we’re presented with. We are now 18+ months into a global pandemic, with the end many months away, many of you have just begun your professional training and the vast majority of you reading this have been working through multiple scenarios to assure we can both teach and learn under very stressful conditions. While you all have been rock stars as we’ve navigated through all this, there has been a toll. Hence, the importance of building and maintaining our resilience to remain healthy, both physically and mentally. I have a few suggestions for you that I’ve learned through experience, articles written about it and talking to experts who have found ways of dealing with long-term stress.

Many experts suggest practicing mindfulness. There is evidence that suggests that practicing mindfulness mediation can increase your resilience by training your mind not to continuously reflect on those things causing stress but rather on the good things that surround you such as concentrating on positive relationships, thinking about plans for the future and finding ways to deal with difficult challenges in your life.

Another way to build resilience is to establish a core group of friends you can feel comfortable discussing what’s on your mind in a “safe space”. Having a group like that has really helped me as I’ve maneuvered through the pandemic. Along with this, try to develop a routine that allows you to eat healthy foods, get enough sleep and exercise regularly. If you’re lucky enough, you’ll find a group supports each other to develop these resilience building habits. Finally, try to remain optimistic. It’s amazing how a positive attitude can change the way you react to things. Sometimes, it’s not easy, but it’s well worth the effort!

As you prepare for the weekend, try to reflect on some of the things you can do to build and maintain your resilience. It’s going to be beautiful outside, so I encourage you to take advantage of this great weather. As you’re doing this, please remember to wear your face mask when around others, vaccinated or not and try to socially distance when you can. Be safe, be resilient and remain SALUS STRONG!

Mike
