At St. Armands Key Lutheran Church, Director of Operations and Minister of Music Michael Bodnyk worked with church leaders to get a vaccine clinic organized for “quite a while,” he said. A parishioner who worked at Hedges HealthMart Pharmacy in Sarasota made a connection, and the pharmacy offered to supply and administer vaccines and handle registration for an event at the church.
“In our demographic of parishioners, there are a lot of older people with compromised immune systems. Getting the vaccine was important to a lot of them,” Bodnyk said. “Obviously, we wanted to be helpful in any way we could.”
