The COVID-19 community vaccination clinic at Washington Hospital and Washington Township Medical Foundation is a huge success. People are praising the friendly,... professional and efficient way the clinic is rolling out the vaccine. In this photo, 80-year-old Martha of Newark receives her first dose.

This week, Washington Hospital and Washington Township Medical Foundation opened a COVID-19 community vaccination clinic. One of the more than 500 first-day sig...n-ups was 74-year-old Shamim of Fremont, pictured here. My dad has been stuck at the house for a year, said his son, Fahad. He’s only gone out for doctors’ appointments that needed to be in person. The retired public relations professional (originally from Pakistan), was very active prior to the pandemic and is now writing a book on his life. Without hesitation, added Fahad, my dad knew getting the vaccine was the right thing to do."

This Friday, February 5, is the American Heart Association’s annual Go Red for Women Day. Many people mistakenly assume that heart disease is only a men’s he...alth issue. Yet heart disease also is a major health concern for women. Women often aren’t aware of their risk factors for heart disease, but the more you know about heart disease, the more you can do to reduce your risks, says Sangeetha Balakrishnan, MD, a cardiologist with Washington Township Medical Foundation. Read more in this week’s Tri-City Voice at https://tricityvoice.com/02-02-21/. Discover our cardiology services at mywtmf.com/cardiology. In the meantime, we hope to see a lot of you wearing red this Friday! #WHcares #mywtmf #maskup #WearRedDay See more

Welcome, Aileen! #mywtmf

You’ve most likely heard that shelter-in-place orders have been lifted in California, and a county-by-county tiered system is back in effect. Alameda County has... reverted to the Purple Tier, where outdoor dining and other business can resume but with serious restrictions in place. Health care providers at Washington Hospital and throughout the state urge continued caution and safe practices in order to avoid a new surge in cases. Let’s all do our part to make this recovery successful. Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Watch your distance. Don’t let your guard down. #maskup #beatcovid19 #WHcares See more
