No doubt you’ve been seeing the massive amount of news reports and rising concern regarding the Coronavirus

    (also known as Covid-19). 

 

    With all the uncertainty, this can be an unsettling time for all of us.  The stakes are high for those of us who are care providers and for

    those whose medical situations are already compromised.  We’re reaching out to you to let you know we share your concern and have

    been developing a plan in the event our services are impacted by the virus. Be assured that  LACRC/SCDDS staff are working diligently      

    following all CDPHE and CDC health regulations.   

 

    Our services are continuing “as is”, with the exception of some services provided by Case Management and Early Intervention where the

    state is requiring the use of telecommunication (telephone, Skype or other electronic forms of communication) versus face to face meetings

    for staffings and other non-emergency situations.  Please reach out to your Case Manager or Early Childhood team for additional

    information.  The Agency is taking the COVID-19 pandemic one day at a time. 

 

    All LACRC staff is assuring the highest quality of care for each of our individuals in services. Expect that we will talk with individuals

    and teams about what, if any, protections may need to occur to best support the health and safety of our most vulnerable individuals.
