TRUMBULL All it took was a single post on a town social media page to mobilize a small army of moms into the fight against COVID-19.
Shannon Pranger, a professor of nursing at Sacred Heart who also works as an emergency room nurse at St. Vincent’s Medical Center, heard that COVID-19 vaccine clinics run by the Trumbull Health Department were limited because they didn’t have enough nurses to administer the doses.

TRUMBULL Since forming in September, the Trumbull Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Task Force has began making plans to fulfill its mission of fostering “a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive Trumbull.” But the group also wants to hear from the community.
In the new group’s first three meetings members have begun planning an art contest and also have been looking into ways to celebrate the diversity that already exists within the town, according to Chairman Tara Figueroa.
