“We are passionate about making a difference in our community,” said Jessica Word, president of the Word & Brown General Agency and the executive who spearheaded the PPE contribution. “We believe this donation of masks is an extension of our mission to help others and to make health care and health insurance more accessible to Californians. It’s even more personal for our employees and our organization because St. Joseph Hospital is our neighbor – our offices are just blocks away in Orange.”

These acts of kindness and generosity help to sustain all of us as we move forward together during this unprecedented time.”
