Finger Lakes COVID-19 Resource Hub
We recognize that the not-for-profit community is facing significant challenges in light of COVID-19, and we are here to help. Common Ground Health, in partnership with the Finger Lakes Performing Providers System (FLPPS), and the S2AY Rural Health Network, have launched the Finger Lakes COVID-19 Resource Hub, which includes a simple, on-line social networking platform called Mighty Networks. Mighty Networks will allow you to post needs, share resources, and co-create solutions.
If you are interested in joining the platform, send an e-mail to Catie Kunecki. She will get you started.
