NHHA

For the past few years, NHHA has celebrated National Good Neighbor Day in various ways in late September. We have recognized residents who exemplified what it means to be a Good Neighbor; we hosted block parties to celebrate the sense of community we enjoy in our neighborhood; we supported our local Dallas Fire & Rescue First Responders; we donated toys to Medical City Children's Hospital and we hosted a blood drive.   This year, the NHHA Board wants to focus on supporting healthcare workers, who are facing unprecedented demands and risk in the midst of the global pandemic. One local healthcare facility which has been hit especially hard since March is Parkland Hospital. They admitted their first COVID-19 patient on March 11 and opened the Tactical Care Unit (TCU) two weeks later. At the height of their patient load, they had converted five different wards to be COVID-specific. Medical professionals worked 12 hour shift after 12 hour shift, sometimes up to 6 shifts a week. Often they lived apart from immediate family and avoided spending time with other loved ones, out of caution. Thankfully, Parkland was recently able to close the TCU and start caring for patients in individual rooms. [...]

Need an activity? We've put together a scavenger hunt inside the neighborhood. Print the list or save it to your phone and head out on a walk or drive to see if you can spot all the items. While you're at it, snap a photo of you or your kids on your excursion, or while doing anything else outside to keep yourselves occupied during this unusual time, and submit them to president@northwoodhills.org. We'd love to include your photos in an upcoming newsletter article about what our residents did to keep themselves occupied, happy, and engaged during the shelter in place orders.

The NHHA Board of Directors, along with dedicated volunteers, want to ensure our neighbors are safe and that you have what you need during the COVID-19 pandemic. We don't want any of our residents to forego essential items because they don't feel they can safely obtain them due to personally being immuno-compromised or having an at-risk household member. If you are unable to obtain necessary items during this time because of health reasons, please review the following list and contact your Board representative with your needs:   Urgent Food Needs Paper Towels Toilet Paper Bottled Water Toiletries Medicine Pick-Up Other Essential Items   We will do our best to accommodate you. We are also calling and dropping off letters to potentially at-risk residents who may not see our online posts. If you know of any of your neighbors in need, please forward their name and address to us so we can reach out.   We know this is a difficult time for many of us, so let's work together to get through it.   On behalf of the NHHA Board of Directors,   Janet Marcum President
