The Madison County Health Department has created a new position to help with response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The social services connector is expected to address the needs of people who are most challenged in quarantine or isolation.
Personnel who are conducting disease investigation or contact tracing make phone calls and communicate with those in quarantine or in isolation. Health Department officials say there are some circumstances where people require additional support to successfully remain isolated for two weeks.
Jennifer Brubaker, as social services connector, takes on the responsibility of matching a resource to a need. Many faith based, civic groups, and individual members of the Madison County community have asked how they could be of assistance.
Those interested in helping should contact the Madison County Health Department.?
