Team,

Today I announced that CDHS will be joining other state agencies in requiring that staff members at our 24/7 facilities be vaccinated. This decision was not made lightly and is designed to protect the people we care for and serve, as well as one another.

I know that many of you have been vaccinated and others have chosen not to be vaccinated. Regardless of your vaccination status, I realize that you probably have many questions about what this change means. 

We’ll be holding two town halls tomorrow for all staff. ASL interpretation will be provided. Please join and listen, ask questions, and get more information about our “why.” You can also check out the intranet page.
