Moylan Makes Senior Wellness Check Calls, Offers Office Assistance to Residents

DES PLAINES, Ill. – Showing his heartfelt concern for senior residents, state Rep. Marty Moylan, D-Des Plaines, is conducting senior wellness checks during the COVID-19 crisis and stay-at-home order.

“During this public health crisis, we have to remember the people among us who are most vulnerable and make sure they are healthy and adjusting to the stay-at-home order well,” Moylan said. “My office and I are working hard to help people get the resources they need. If you are experiencing symptoms you should contact a medical professional. However, if you or someone you know needs assistance or have concerns about this pandemic or other state issues, please reach out to my office and we will do all we can to help you.”

He asks that residents join him in checking on seniors and family members, and thanks those who are taking the time to volunteer and assist others during the pandemic.
