Committed to Everyone’s Health & Well-Being

At Goodwin House, we’re committed to everyone’s health and well-being. Together, we are facing a public health concern due to rising cases of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The best thing we can do for our community right now is to respond with calmness and compassion.

We want to share information about the steps we are taking, including policy and protocol changes that affect you as employees. We also offer trusted resources to help you stay informed.

We are actively following information and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), as well as the departments of health for Alexandria, Fairfax and Virginia. Changes to our policies and protocols are made based on the information we receive from these organizations.
