The Patterson Foundation knows that there are many ongoing efforts in the Suncoast region to help our communities become healthier and thrive. As part of the COVID-19 Response initiative, The Patterson Foundation is sending out a weekly update about public health safety measures that we’ve discovered through data, research, and community outreach. We hope this communication will be helpful in weaving a tighter net of communication across Charlotte, DeSoto, Manatee and Sarasota counties as we strive to conquer COVID.  

If you’d like to have something your community is doing included in the update, please send an email to me, Abby Rolland at arolland@thepattersonfoundation.org. Please share the attached PDF or link below with anyone who might find the information useful. Keep your eyes peeled for articles in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune focused on COVID response as well!

We’ve included a list of pop-up clinics below. 

Highlighted this week: companies promoting the vaccine, updated data
