News in Brief: June 24 edition

The videos were reviewed and edited by doctors in the Mid-Columbia region. They discuss topics such as:

• What if I have to go to the hospital with COVID-19?
• Hospital treatments for the virus and their outcomes.

The videos encourage all adults to:

• Decide what care we would want if we were to be hospitalized with COVID-19.
• Make sure there is someone who would speak for us if we could not speak for ourselves.
