“We are very grateful to our county health department and ConnextCare for partnering with us as a way to incentivize more community members to help stop the spread of COVID-19” said Patrick Dewine, executive director of United Way of Greater Oswego County. “The timing of this program aligns with children preparing to return to school. With the recent spike in COVID cases in our county and region, we hope this program will help decrease future cases” he added.
