Dear Extended Cobble Hill Family,
I’m thrilled to let you know that effective tomorrow, 9/22/20, we will reopen to family visitation in strict accordance with NYS Department of Health visitation guidelines. Please review the guidelines below. Visitation remains by appointment only.
To schedule a visit, please reach out to:
Christina Santos (Director of Therapeutic Recreation) – (718) 855-6789 ext. 138
Elain Gay (Assistant Director of Therapeutic Recreation) – (718) 855-6789 ext. 139
While we still understand that visiting under these guidelines still leaves a lot to be desired, we are encouraged that this is a move in the right direction and we look forward to opening up even more in the future.
