COVID-19 Update for Cayenne Wellness Center and Children’s Foundation:
Temporary Changes to How We Work
March 23, 2020
Cayenne Wellness Center is working diligently to follow the course of the COVID-19 epidemic.
We are tracking the state’s guidance and proceeding with recommendations for our staff and the families that we serve.
After careful deliberation and consultation from our board, and in an effort to protect our staff, our families, and others who may be connected to Cayenne Wellness Center, Cayenne Wellness Center is working remotely beginning March 23rd. We will return to normal operations when the state of emergency has passed and when the state of California releases any current mandates upon statewide business operations.
Please see the FAQ below, which outlines our remote work plan.
