POMFRET — As part of a continuing outreach initiative, Pomfret’s Loos & Company, Inc. recently donated $500 to the Northeast District Department of Health to aid their ongoing local public services.
Established in 1973, NDDH is a non-profit governmental organization that promotes wellness, prevents illness and protects the health of northeast Connecticut residents.
“Your gift is very much appreciated,” said NDDH Director of Health Sue Starkey. “Loos has always been a great partner and a responsible employer. You’ve always had the best interest of the employees in mind.”
The district services Pomfret, Putnam, Union, Woodstock, Thompson, Eastford, Hampton, Brooklyn, Killingly, Canterbury, Sterling and Plainfield. NDDH provides essential public health services that protect people and the environment. From education and inspections to coronavirus vaccination clinics, the health department serves as a resource for all.
Loos’s donation will be put to good use as NDDH continues to work toward improving the well-being of the community. Starkey said the organization is eager to do more educational work around important health issues.
