Gregg Moss is the Director of Public Relations and Media for SCL Health. In this role, he leads the hospital system’s public relations and community outreach efforts. Prior to joining SCL Health, Gregg worked in the City Manager’s office at the City of Westminster where he helped lead the communication and public relation efforts. Gregg has also served as the President and CEO of the Metro North Chamber of Commerce, and he is a well-known fixture in the community in-part because he was an anchor/reporter for 9NEWS for two decades.

Gregg addresses many questions:

• How is the COVID-19 vaccine process unfolding at SCL Health?
• Demand for vaccinating high-risk groups, including those age 70 and over, is great, how are you meeting this goal?
• How can people register for the two large scale vaccination events that SCL Health and UCHealth are holding at the end of the month?
• How are the vaccines being distributed to SCL Health and other healthcare providers?
• Is it necessary to get two doses of the vaccines now available?
• What are the top myths about the Covid-19 vaccine?

Linda Holloway is the co-founder and co-director of Bessie's Hope, formerly known as Rainbow Bridge. Her nonprofit helps transform the lives of not only the "forgotten" elders in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, but also of the many "at-risk" youth who participate in the volunteer programs. The work of the organization is dedicated as a living legacy to Linda's grandmother.

Linda tells us:

• About Bessie’s Hope
• How COVID has impacted Bessie’s Hope’s service in nursing homes and assisted living communities.
• The primary difference between other groups that visit elder care communities and Bessie’s Hope.
• Why the work of Bessie’ Hope is so beneficial for at-risk youth.
