tenant to receive the vaccine during a COVID-19 vaccination clinic.
RIVER FALLS, WI (January 25, 2021) — Wellhaven Senior Living, a senior care community, hosted a COVID-19 vaccination clinic onsite on Monday, January 25, 2021. Wellhaven tenants and team members received the first of two Moderna shots.
“For nearly a year, we have been heavily impacted by COVID-19. Having both our tenants and caregivers receive the vaccine gives our community hope in our fight against this virus,” said BethAnn Schultz, Manager at Wellhaven.
Wellhaven partnered with Walgreen’s Pharmacy to administer the vaccinations. The second vaccine shot will be distributed late February.
“We recognize the strain the pandemic put on our team members, tenants, and family members,” said Christopher Meyer, Chief Executive Officer for The Lutheran Home Association. “We appreciate the opportunity to offer the vaccine and value our partnerships with local organizations and pharmacies. We look forward to the days when we can once again open our doors for everyday visits, events, and activities.”
Mark Hayes, Vice President of Ministry for The Lutheran Home Association, shared this prayer for combatting COVID-19.
Dear Father, as we continue into 2021, we know everything isn’t going to change immediately, but we are grateful for the positive trends we have been blessed with. Cases of the virus are low in our care communities. The safety measures we have put in place have been effective. A vaccine is already beginning to be distributed. Thank you, Lord for these great blessings. Even though we can’t see the reason for all of this and don’t know what the outcome will be, you have proven over time that you always have our best interests in mind, and you are completely devoted to us. Strengthen our trust in you and the humility to let you steer the ship. We need your peace and the strength you give every day. Thank you for caring for our residents and guiding our staff and leaders through this difficult time. Hold our hands through the new year and instill in us the confidence that you will never leave our side. As your children, we pray in confidence. Amen.
