Dear Members of the NMIC Community,
NMIC remains committed to our mission and communities while following all guidance given to us from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the New York State Department of Health. We are in communication with City and State agencies as we continue to monitor public health and safety conditions.
Like you, we are concerned about keeping our community and ourselves safe from the spread of the novel COVID-19 (coronavirus). As of Monday, March 16, 2020, we are taking the precaution of suspending on-site programming and implementing a remote work model of modified service delivery.
I want to reassure you that we have developed safety plans for our staff and created safety nets for our clients experiencing immediate service needs. If the City suspends individual services, we will follow instructions while helping our clients navigate the process. This is unprecedented for us, you, and our community partners.
We will maintain immediate and open communication with our staff, clients, funders, supporters, and elected officials.
I want to encourage you all to take good care of your health and well-being, to stay informed of the latest facts, and to seek and give support to others around you and in our community.
For up to date information, please visit our website, www.nmic.org, follow us on social media @NMICnyc, email us at info@nmic.org, or call us at 212-822-8300.
Yours in solidarity,
Maria Lizardo, MSW
Directora ejecutiva
