Health Monitoring Devices

Washington County Office for Aging and Disabilities Resource Center (OFA/ADRC) received funding from New York State Office for the Aging (NYSOFA) that targeted the COVID–19 pandemic. These funds allowed use to purchase a supply of thermometers, oximeters, and blood pressure monitors. 

These items were determined by Public Health to be useful devices for people to monitor their health – either before experiencing COVID-19 as a preventive measure, after being exposed to COVID-19, or while they are experiencing COVID-19.    

Therefore, we can provide these items, at no charge, to qualifying residents of Washington County. Contact ADRC at (518) 746-2420 to get further information.

NYS In-Home Vaccination Points of Contact for COVID -19

Vaccinating all New Yorkers is a top priority for returning to some semblance of normalcy.  Not everyone is able to travel to one of the many sites that are offering COVID-19 vaccines. New York State, in partnership with counties, established local points of contact to expand access to vaccines through an in-home vaccination program for those who are home bound due to physical limitations, cognitive impairment, other chronic conditions, a lack of transportation, and/or visual impairments, and who do not have access to supports that may help them physically go to an existing vaccination provider.
