By now, you should know that wearing a mask properly is an extremely important measure to take to help stop the spread of germs.
Just as important is the correct storage and cleaning of the masks we wear! Consider having more than one mask on hand so that you can easily replace a dirty mask with a clean one. Be sure to remove your mask correctly and wash your hands after touching a used mask.

When Michael Borgioni passed away from Cystic Fibrosis, his parents wanted to honor his memory and his incredible spirit of perseverance. Because Michael's dream was to pursue a career as a Nurse Anesthetist, they couldn't think of a better way to do good in his name than by establishing a special award for St. Luke's School of Nursing students who live their lives just like Mike did.
He is described by all those who knew him as caring, kind, polite, smart, and funny. He proved that being a good person is a lifelong task, regardless of how long that life may be. December 1st would have been Mike's 27th birthday. To celebrate a beautiful life well-lived, please consider a gift to the Michael Borgioni Perseverance Award Fund. Any amount contributed will help recognize nursing students who exemplify the same spirit of perseverance that Michael demonstrated every single day. Make your gift here: https://bit.ly/37PSBfP.
