Our employees’ and clients’ safety and wellbeing is of great importance to us. We continue to closely monitor the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines as well as state and federal government resources. Our Senior Leadership is meeting daily to review new information, trends, and concerns related to COVID-19. We are keeping our staff updated through the distribution of Frequently Asked Questions to all FP employees.
