COVID-19 coronavirus

Over the past several weeks COVID-19, the disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus, has caused widespread disruption throughout the world.  More than 750 cases have been detected in the U.S. As the virus continues to spread , we have been faced with the difficult decision whether to defer our Annual Auction Gala event as we seek to address our members’ and donors’ health concerns.
UDH Health Coach Inc. has decided to postpone UDH’s Annual Gala, which was slated to take place on:  Saturday, March 28th, 2020 at The Arts of Armory Center 191 Highland Ave Somerville, MA 02143.   As you know, your support is crucial to our organization, enabling us to continue supporting Haitian medical and nursing students and broadcasting our weekly Radio Show “Kwen Santé”.
If you’ve already purchased your ticket to our Gala, please be aware that it is still valid and will be honored at the rescheduled event, the date of which will be announced in the near future.
 –  In the meantime UDHHC encourages each and everyone of you to stay focused and avoid exposure to the virus and is sharing some standard precautions to help prevent the spread of Coronavirus, as follows:
