LOVE GOES THE DISTANCE

Just because we’re apart doesn’t mean we can’t stay connected. Caring for our family and friends is still as important as ever. So make time to connect, help plan out the medical care they need, and remind each other to stay safe and healthy.

Because staying connected is another way to say “I love you.”
