Message from the President
Dear ASHHRA Colleagues, Welcome to winter! Most ASHHRA members are now in full-blown cold winter and the nasty weather it sometimes brings. We also have holidays galore for December and January, though I expect many of the celebrations will be subdued as COVID-19 rears its ugly head again. Help is on the way, and hopefully by the time you read this, some health care providers will be on the cusp of receiving the COVID vaccine.
