March 19, 2020As Director of MCIL I have followed national and local responses to the 2020 Corona virus pandemic and we have adopted a multi-step plan to continue to serve citizens with disabilities.
Step 1. Educated staff and visitors in appropriate hand washing and hand sanitizer use and maintaining some space
Step 2. No visitors or consumer face to face meetings or visits to Nursing Homes or hospitals, cancel all IL trainings and other group activities.
Step 3. Begin remote work for most susceptible staff members
Step 4. Shut down MCIL physical office and all staff work remotely until it is deemed safe for our return.
Tim and I have worked together on each step and have watched and listened to NCIL, ACL, local non-profits, CDC and local government for each stage of reactions. Today, we decided it was time for Step 4. MCIL will be responding to all phone messages, emails and faxes as usual. To all MCIL friends and family, please be safe!
Sincerely,
Sincerely,
Sandi Klink
Executive Director
