  • Executive Director Judy Berman and CHV Board member James Kennedy testified before the DC Council opposing proposed cuts in the budget to funding for DC Villages and requesting action to address the shortage of home health aides and certified nursing assistants.  And, they had something to say about That Stadium.
  • CHV Care Services Director Lizzy Kosin reminds us of the need for end-of-life decisions, and she has advice on decisions to be made and resource materials to help.  Consider joining the CHV Get Your Papers in Order Affinity Group (GYPIO) and access other recommended documents.
  • The CHV Anti-racism Working Group’s in-depth report recommends chartering an Anti-racism Steering Committee, committing resources to efforts endorsed by that Committee, and training for Board and staff.
  • CHV Board member Tamara Copeland wonders why we can’t have an assisted living facility on Capitol Hill.  Like many, she loves the Hill but worries that many people need to leave the area to get the care they need.
  • Those scams just keep coming, and CHV has information and recommendations to help keep you safe.
