COVID-19 Update: Governor Recognizes OH, Vaccine Clinics and Updated Numbers
Governor Beshear Acknowledges OH for Twin Lakes Evacuation 
In his COVID-19 Briefing on Monday, Governor Andy Beshear referenced the power outage and teamwork shown this weekend to transport all the Twin Lakes patients to OHRH.
Beshear stated, “Eventually, the decision was made (that Twin Lakes), ... a part of Owensboro Health, they did an incredible job, that they were going to have to evacuate most of the patients there. We had the Louisville FEMA team on standby to go and help with that. Turns out, they were able to handle it all with what they had which is an incredible testament.”
You can find the full briefing and see this around minute 22:00.
Vaccine clinic held at Spanish-speaking Church Service 
A small group of Owensboro Health team members set up a vaccine clinic at Sts. Joseph and Paul Catholic Church Sunday in an effort to reach our Spanish-speaking population. There were interpreters there to assist in the process and OH vaccinated 27 individuals.
