A Message of Encouragement During The Stay at Home Order The Stay at Home Order has impacted all of us in so many ways. We have had to be separated during a time when we’ve needed each other the most. Schools and businesses have been closed and thrust into a new world of Zoom Calls and learning how to be productive while Working From Home. So many people have lost their jobs, and have had to rely on Unemployment, maybe for the first time. There have been so many unknowns about our future and where we will go from here. There have been so many negative impacts on all of us; and all of the negativity in the News and on Social Media has only served to make us feel trapped, insecure, overwhelmed, and lost.

We have seen so many stories of community; people reaching out and finding ways to help each other despite this separation. So today we are asking the qu ... read more

Let’s take a moment to talk about UV Lighting, what it is and how we are using it. What is UV Lighting? As you may already be aware, there are multiple types of UV lighting. All of these are produced by the sun. The types of Ultraviolet wavelengths that we normally hear about are UV-A and UV-B. These are the types that we regularly seek protection from, especially during the summer months, by wearing sunscreen. Exposure to UV-B rays will increase the risk of DNA and other cellular damage in living organisms; but about 95% of UV-B rays are ... read more
