You're excellent if you already got your Program of Excellence Award application in, but if you didn't, you've still got through April to apply. All family medicine groups are eligible. http://ow.ly/BxxN50z1h8p

Reduce spread of #COVID19. When in public, use a cloth face covering that
✔️Reaches above nose & below chin, completely covering mouth & nostrils
✔️Fits snugly against sides of your face
✔️Is made of multiple layers of cloth that you can breathe through
