SALEM Salem West and Salem North healthcare centers kicked off the new year with a shot of hope for residents and staff members.

“I would really hope that people would get the vaccine. Get educated on the true facts. Don’t listen to social media. Get educated,” she said.
Christmas Behind Bars and Deerwood ministry make Christmas a bit better for inmates “The holiday season is important to everyone and programs like this help raise the spirits of those in custody and help their families by knowing that others are thinking of them, Crow Wing County Sheriff Scott Goddard said 11:00 am, Dec. 24, 2020 ×

The Christmas song goes, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year” and is indicative that it’s a time of giving to those around us especially those currently living under not the best circumstances.

SALEM About 100 Blossom Nursing and Rehabilitation staff members and residents stepped up to receive the COVID-19 vaccine Tuesday.
Megan Schardt, Regional Sales Director of Atrium Living Centers Inc., which operates Blossom, said the clinic went well and she knew of no allergic reactions to the Pfizer vaccine.
Plans called for monitoring the recipients the next few days to ensure everything was ok. Schardt had announced the scheduling of the clinic last week, saying it was giving the families, residents and staff member “a glimmer of hope.”
This was the first of three COVID vaccine clinics to be held at Blossom through Walgreens. Walgreens sent eight staff members to administer the vaccines. After receiving the vaccine, each person was taken to another area to be watched for any immediate side effects, a press release said.
