Prior Initiative
SANCTUARY CARE
Some of our medical providers had been involved in delivering care to individuals & families taking sanctuary in local religious institutions. Due to the rescission of the sensitive locations memo, places of worship are not currently guaranteed protection, which makes them less available as spaces for sanctuary, although the concept and spirit still remains.
