AdventistHealthSonora.org • Healthy Living  3 As we navigate the COVID-19 outbreak, Adventist Health Sonora wants to support you in whatever way we can. We recently merged the Chaplain’s Fund with Project HOPE to provide a powerful new resource for our community. The new Project HOPE has at its core a mission of providing: Health •  Giving grocery cards to those in need. •  Supporting people with treatments not covered by health insurance. •  Providing transportation and lodging to rural patients. Outreach •  Awarding micro-grants to local agencies. •  Working with families in crisis to pay utility bills and other living costs. Do: Know the symptoms: coughing, fever, shortness of breath. Wash your hands often with soap and water or use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, or use the inside of your elbow. Throw tissues in the trash. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily, including tables, doorknobs, countertops, desks, phones and keyboards. Call your health care provider if you have symptoms. Let them know you may have the virus. Wear a cloth face mask in public. DO’S & DON’TS Don’t: Touch your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. Spend time with people who are sick. Go out in public if you’re sick unless it’s to get medical care. Share household items, like dishes, drinking glasses, eating utensils, towels or bedding, with other people if you’re sick.
