Celebrating our EMS Professionals Week 2021! Every year EMS Professionals respond to over 120,000 calls for 9-1-1 medical emergencies in Santa Clara County. We would like to take a moment and thank all of the EMS Professionals for their tireless efforts to provide vital care for our communities.

Not feeling sick or testing negative doesn’t always mean you aren’t infected. After exposure, COVID-19 can incubate in the body for up to 14 days. If you’ve been exposed, quarantine and watch out for symptoms. Don't risk accidentally exposing others, especially the ones you love.

A special message from Dr. Vidya Mony - protect yourself and the ones you love. https://youtu.be/GpTtY3V_PRc

Just because something is open, it doesn’t mean it’s COVID-free. Stay home for the people who can’t, even when they are immunocompromised. It takes all of us working together to #StoptheSurge.

Hospital capacity isn’t just about bedsit's about healthcare workers, too. We need to take care of them so that they can continue to take care of us.

If you have symptoms or are sick, assume it’s COVID-19 until proven otherwise. Too many people tell us they thought it was just allergies, the weather, or the time of year. Then their loved ones fall sick and test positive and they realize it was COVID-19 all along. We have testing sites for people with symptoms, find one at www.sccfreetest.org

October is National Physical Therapy Month, an annual opportunity to raise awareness about the benefits of physical therapy and thank our Physical Therapists for the wonderful work they do to restore and maintain function, and improve patients' lives!
