Hilltoppers,

This week many of you have a chance to make a real difference in our community. Hilltop’s residential facilities have been chosen by the Governor’s Office and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to receive COVID-19 testing. The National Guard will be onsite June 2nd and 3rd to administer tests to all residents and employees. This service is free and easy, no appointment necessary, and only requires a simple swab test. The state is hoping for 100% participation and the information they gather will help prevent infections by individuals who are asymptomatic and chart a safe reopening course for our residential programs.

The tests will only be available to staff and residents at the following locations and times:

Bacon Campus                           Tuesday, June 2             8:00 am to 12:00 noon

The Fountains of Hilltop       Tuesday, June 2             1:00 pm to 5:00 pm

The Commons of Hilltop       Wednesday, June 3      8:00 am to 12:00 noon

A limited number of tests will be available for staff and residents after these events.

Having the National Guard and CDPHE staff on our campuses will be exciting, but we are asking everyone to avoid sharing any photos on social media to help protect the privacy of our residents and staff. If you have any questions or concerns, please speak with the leadership team at your program.

I want to thank all our residential program staff and clients for being a part of this important testing. Together, we got this.

Mike
