While this is not an “official” Family Medicine broadcast, I wanted to post an update for anyone who hasn’t been checking their email today.
It looks like email , at least so far, is how we’re getting most of our information from our on-campus essentials. Drs. Thompson, Simmons-Melendez, and Uzowulu are our “on-campus” folks. I believe Obi was staying at Dr. Thompson’s house (which is only a few blocks away on the harbor), while Dr. Thompson and Donna were bunking down at the hospital.
We do have several other folks from the department riding out the storm on the island. Becky, Judy, and Cassi are all still on the island (this may not be everyone, but it is everyone I know.)
I am guessing that much more information will be available early tomorrow as the sun rises and we can see again. If you don’t hear from your supervisor tomorrow, please check in with them.
Please be patient tomorrow and Sunday as we assess the situation and begin making plans. I am guessing that as soon as we have a plan we will send out a broadcast, post it here, and activate the phone tree to let everyone know what is going on.
Please stay safe. And again, if you need information or need to report anything and cannot reach your supervisor, please call or email me and I will help you out.
