These webinars will help our local business leaders understand COVID-19 and adjust their operations to protect their employees, their customers, and the community as a whole.”

Webinars will be hosted by Mike Packnett, Parkview Health president and chief executive officer; Jolynn Suko, chief innovation officer; Dr. Jeffrey Boord, chief safety & quality officer; Dena Jacquay, chief community & HR officer; and Dr. Deb McMahan, Allen County health commissioner, among others.
