MDA Advocacy in These Uncertain Times
MARK FISHER 03/19/2020
We know families across the country, especially those in the neuromuscular disease (NMD) community, are concerned about the spread of coronavirus and its associated disease, COVID-19, and the impact on their loved ones. In these uncertain times, MDA’s advocacy team will not stop serving and amplifying the voices of those in the NMD community, especially when lawmakers and regulators are making critical decisions that affect the NMD community.

Let's support our first responders and keep them safe.

*** IMPORTANT NOTICE TO OUR COMMUNITIES ***

Please help us help you! Unless it is a case of severe difficulty breathing or illness: there is very little, if anything we can do as far as treatment for flu symptoms. We also have NO way to determine what kind of virus someone might have.

If you are feeling sick, please do not visit a fire station for evaluation. Please utilize the 911 system only in the event of severe difficulty breathing or illness if it is flu related.

Emergency rooms will not see you faster just because you are brought in by an ambulance.

There are numerous first responders across the nation who have been quarantined due to exposures to COVID-19. As we try to maintain our current levels of staffing for fire and EMS responses we cannot afford to have firefighters unable to work.

If our citizens utilize the 911 system in an informed and responsible manner, our members can remain on fire engines and ambulances where they can do the most good and continue to protect our communities.

Henley continued its support of the Muscular Dystrophy Association, attending it's fourth annual Muscle Team Gala last night at the Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor. Surrounded by the amazing acrobatic abilities of the Cirque de Soleil troupe who performed throughout the evening, set the scene for an exciting night. Henley was proud to be a part of the efforts and was so happy to see many industry partners also present last night. Thank you to all that continue to support Henley Constructions fundraising efforts. MDA Greater Washington, DC MDA of Greater Maryland, Fishing for MD - Muscular Dystrophy
