    • We have been called for this moment at Fowler – to care, protect and love
    • We have prepared
    • I implore all of you to remain fierce in your mask wearing, hand sanitizing, and social distancing
      • If you don’t need to leave the community, don’t
      • As our numbers continue to rise in Dallas, we all need to minimize our risk for exposure
      • Residents, masks are to be worn whenever you are outside of your apartment, as well as in the company of any visitor, staff member or care provider inside of your apartment. If someone comes to your apartment without a mask, ask them to put one on.
      • Team members, your mask should remain on your face from the moment you step foot outside of your car in the parking lot upon arrival, until the moment you get back in at the end of your day. If you see someone without a mask, say something to them immediately. Do not let them take another step unprotected
    • A mask properly worn, covers your nose and mouth – NOT your neck and chin!
    • This is not the time to get comfortable and complacent – COVID cannot win
    • Please join us in fervent prayer for our residents, our team members and for their families
