A Message from the HSPnet Team
Members of the HSPnet Support and Development team are working tirelessly to respond to the impacts of COVID-19 and ensure the continuity of services without interruption. We are proud to support you and the important work that you do every day.
It has certainly been an intense and wild month. Virtual Distance is a trendy new measurement and Zoom cocktail parties are fashionable. Yet, despite the distancing and isolation, our connection with User communities grows stronger every day. So while most of the country is working from home in an effort to 'stop the spread' and flatten the curve' it is critical that we continue to stay connected and nurture our virtual User communities across the country.
The feedback we've received from Users is heartwarming and encouraging to know that our work is making a difference. It is this that motivates and inspires us each day of this journey. Thank you for supporting us! The journey is far from over but together we'll get through it and we are thankful to be in it together with you.
