Hear more about how the CHASS center is treating patients during the pandemic in this highlight from the latest COVID313 Virtual Town Hall meeting.

Please join the COVID313 Virtual Town Hall for Families and Students every Thursday starting at noon, featuring experts talking about coronavirus, education and school updates, accessing basic needs, and keeping your family healthy.
