How You Can Help
Get Vaccinated
Protect yourself. Protect your family. Protect your community.
When it’s your turn, take your shot! The Virginia Department of Health encourages those receiving the vaccine to get the first vaccine available to them. Visit valleyhealthlink.com/vaccine for more information.
Wear a Mask
Protect yourself and others.
We strongly encourage our community members to wear face masks whenever leaving home and particularly when social distancing is not possible. Face masks are also required when inside any Valley Health building. Thank you for keeping our caregivers safe!
