Happy Thanksgiving John!
This season is a season for giving thanks. So I would like to express my gratitude for our doctors, nurses, board members and staffers, especially this year for their tireless work during COVID-19. And, I want to thank everyone throughout Southern California for trusting us as a lung health resource this past year.
On behalf of all of us at Breathe SoCal, I would like to thank the communities we serve for their efforts to help slow the spread of COVID-19. We greatly appreciate the ongoing work of public health officials, county commissioners, mayors, city councils, and countless others who work for the public good. I especially want to thank the people like you who are looking out for others by wearing masks, washing hands, practicing social distancing, and avoiding large gatherings.
This year, when giving thanks, in light of everything going on at home and around the world, please know that even the simplest act of kindness can make a world of difference to those around you.
I challenge each of us to practice a little more kindness and a little more patience this holiday season. Focusing on the positive helps us to remain uplifted.
We are blessed with a community of people like you—people who work hard and respect those around them. We hope you have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving holiday.
