BRANCH 137 (Passaic, New Jersey) Valentyna Tabaka (Officer at Large, UNWLA National Executive and member of Br. 137) is Wound Care Manager at Jersey City Medical Centre (JCMC) in New Jersey. Jer sey City has had one of the largest influxes of COVID19 patients in New Jersey. In her role , Valentyna is responsible for an interdisciplinary and cross functional approach to wound care for most JCMC patients and departments, from prevention to complex care and wound treatments, as w ell as teaching staff about appropriate wound care and preventative measures. Ov er the past weeks as the virus affected increasing numbers of her health care colleagues and the number of COVID-19 patients increased dramatically, Valentyna and her team found themselves being called in to provide direct patient care ever more frequen tly. The c are of ICU patients on ven tilators was especially challenging as these patients are unable to move themselves, often for weeks, as they battle for life. When asked how this experience has affected her, Valen tyna said «Living through COVID19 has shifted my values and how I view things: I now know that we must live life fully ev ery day and don’ t put things off. I also want to do as much good as possible and be of service. Who knows: one day I may end up in one of those patient beds and I only hope that I rece ive the same dedicated, kind and caring attention as we have given every patient that has come to JCMS during this extraordinary time.» ПІДТРИМУЄМО ТИХ, ХТО МАЄ ПОТРЕБИ У цей тяжкий час я зі своїм чоловіком вирішили допомогти кільком людям з України: • Анатолію Сазанському з сім’ї переселенців із зони воєнних дій на Сході України, що нині проживає в Івано-Франківську; • Тетяні Силі, волонтерці з Кропивницького, що допомагає військовим; • сім’ї Лесі Зелеської (є інвалідом з дитинства), в якої троє малих дітей і чоловік хворіє на рак; проживає в с. Дубівці Галицького р-ну Івано-Франківської обл., звідки я родом. Щоб підтримати цих людям, ми передали кожному по $100 за кур - сом у гривнях. Марія Блум , союзянка 138-го Відділу СУА. BRANCH 98 MEMBERS CONTRIBUTE SKILLS AND COMPASSION Dr. Margaret Zakanycz , a member of Branch 98 of Middletown/Holmdel, New Jersey, is a podiatrist who has been keeping patients able to walk through the pandemic “One foot at a time.” Helena Blyskun , a member of Branch 98 of Middletown/Holmdel, New Jer - sey, has been volunteering with a local civic organization as part of a “Neigh - bor Check-In Program.” This involves calling vulnerable community members to determine if they are experiencing an “urgent” need” for food; expenses; connecting with government programs; etc. Members of this program also put up signs advising community members of local food pantries in the area. Natalia Pawlenko (Branch 98, Middletown/Holmdel New Jersey; Officer at Large, UNWLA National Executive) has been assisting the Visiting Nurse Asso - ciation of Central New Jersey Community Health Center (CHC) in their efforts to manage the outbreak of coronavirus while they continue to serve nearly 14,000 extremely vulnerable patients across this central New Jersey area. Fo - cusing primarily on communications and project planning, she was thrilled to be part of an effort that brought the first saliva testing in the nation to the patients of the CHC as well as first responders in the area.
