VoK Welcomes New Board Member

9/29/2020

 
Picture
Marilyn Emery has been a resident of Kensington for over 30 years.  Through her job as a Realtor she often works with residents and their families who are facing the decisions to age in place, or move.  This gives her a view of the many decisions that go into what it takes to safely stay in your home.  
Over the years Marilyn has been very active as a volunteer in her neighborhood, local schools and her church.  She finds these activities rewarding and energizing.  
In her free time Marilyn loves spending time with her family, doing gardening, photography and spending time in the quiet of the woods.

Alert: Postcard Pretends to be an Official HIPAA Communication

9/20/2020

 
The federal Department of Health and Human Services is asking providers to be on the lookout for postcards from the "Secretary of Compliance" in the "HIPAA Compliance Division" at federal DHHS. The postcard asks the recipient to call, email, or visit a website that's supposedly about HIPAA compliance.

These postcards are fake and are part of an apparent phishing campaign. You should simply just ignore them and toss them. These postcards are not from any federal agency. 

I'm sending this out to everyone because we work with many partners that might think the postcard is legitimate. Please feel free to share this broadly.   

This is what the fake postcard looks like the image below.

Again, if anyone receives this postcard, the only thing to do is to just throw it away. There's a lot of anxiety in the world right now. Nobody needs more of it.

Let me know if you have any questions. I've included the security alert email from federal DHHS below. ​
