August is National Minority Donor Awareness Month

National Minority Donor Awareness Month is a collaborative initiative of the National Organ, Eye and Tissue Donation Multicultural Action Group to save and improve the quality of life of diverse communities by creating a positive culture for organ, eye and tissue donation. National Minority Donor Awareness Month stems from National Minority Donor Awareness Week, founded in 1996 by the National MOTTEP to bring heightened awareness to donation and transplantation in multicultural communities – focusing primarily on African American/Black, Hispanic/Latinx, Asian Pacific Islander and American Indian/Alaskan Native communities.

National Minority Donor Awareness Month is focused on outreach and education, including virtual events and messaging to:

• Provide education about organ, eye and tissue donation and transplantation 
• Encourage donor registration & family conversations about donation
• Promote healthy living and disease prevention to decrease the need for transplantation

Ansonia Police share tips on mask wearing, social distancing

Sharing from the Ansonia Police Department Facebook page:

"As we make our way through the warm summer months it can be difficult to wear a face mask and follow social distancing protocols. 

"Please remember that there are steps that you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones.

"We can only stay safe if everyone does their part. While CT has seen some improvement, it does not mean the virus cannot re-emerge quickly. 

"Please be safe, practice social distancing, and wear a mask when you cannot properly socially distance. 

"Stay Safe Ansonia!"
