COVID-19 is spreading like wildfire through our nation’s nursing homes. With the resurgence of coronavirus in Louisiana, our nursing homes are at risk. Congress must take meaningful action to protect nursing home residents now.
On Wednesday, May 6, AARP Louisiana State Director, Denise Bottcher sent the following letter to Governor John Bel Edwards, Secretary Courtney Phillips, Louisiana Department of Health; and Assistant Secretary Alex Billioux, Louisiana Department of Health.
We’re writing with an important message to let you know that we have canceled our external events until further notice. While convening events is a core part of our mission, we have changed our approach in light of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
