Don’t believe that lower #COVID deaths in Oregon is something to be proud of when over 50% of deaths are in our nursing and congregate care facilities where we can control the disease. Real #people are dead not data points - #protect them!
I’m honored & humbled for my Silver Stevie Award: Women in Business for Female Innovator of the Year in Non-Profit category.
To be recognized for the ‘heartwork’ I led at #AARP is the biggest reward; during a pandemic with work & life pivots #stevies2020#latina#futureisfemale

Still out #walking, just need to avoid indoor places. So grateful for open spaces & many walker-friendly n’hoods. Solo, sold my car 👏👏 to our local food spots where can safely pick up to-go-treats/meals #SmallBiz#pdx#MaskUp#PhysicalDistancing#StaySafe
Our hospitals are filling up, and many are reducing elective procedures. I know it’s exhausting, and the sacrifices are real. But we must keep it up to support Oregon's health care workers and save lives.

For some Oregonians, Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate. For Oregon’s Indigenous and Tribal members, it can be another reminder of our nation’s history of colonialism and racism.
This year, I'm giving thanks that so many Oregonians are doing the work to keep each other safe.
Proud to share that @AARP has won the 2020 #Baldrige Award. In the midst of the #coronavirus pandemic, our work has never been more important, so to be recognized for innovation and performance excellence at this crucial moment is truly an honor. https://t.co/9Oau3ycMxa
I repeat: this is not a drill. We hit another record COVID case count yesterday, for the second day in a row.
Do everything you can to reduce the spread and help Oregon’s medical workers.
The first — and only — randomized controlled study of the use of face coverings to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is finished.
The conclusion: masks are most effective if everyone wears them. https://t.co/mHjElFZ83Y
