Honoring Our Nurses
Nurses comfort, care, educate, console, relate, endear and provide direction and assistance. They are at the forefront when we are sick; their work responsibilities immense, their efforts tireless and their commitment endless. They are the heart and soul of medical facilities including residential care, hospitals, clinics, doctorsâ offices, schools, in-home care and much more.
To celebrate National Nurse Week, May 6-12, 2019, The Times Media Co.; Title Sponsor, Methodist Hospitals; Presenting Sponsors Franciscan Health; Community Healthcare System; Visiting Nurse Association of Northwest Indiana; Castle Subaru/Mitsubishi; University of St. Francis â Crown Point; Indiana University-Northwest; and Pinnacle Hospital, are showing our true appreciation for area nurses with nominations and evaluation, a section and planned events.
So far, 9,700 people have gotten their first COVID-19 vaccine shot in Lake and Porter counties, according to the Indiana State Department of Health’s online dashboard.
The Gary Health Department is now scheduling appointments to administer COVID-19 vaccine to eligible recipients, adding to the list of available vaccination sites across Northwest Indiana.
The department did not release details on where the vaccines will be given, or when they will start.
The vaccine is now available to individuals age 80 and older, as well as to licensed and unlicensed healthcare workers, and first responders who have face-to-face interactions with patients or infectious material or work in a public-facing position that requires in-person contact.
A photo ID, proof of age, or verification of current employment as a healthcare worker or first responder in Indiana will be required.
