It was those three pillars that helped carry Lovingston Volunteer Fire Department Chief Danny Johnson through numerous surgeries, repeated stays in the hospital and months of physical therapy.
âThe blessings that my family, friends and people that Iâve never met they prayed for me, donated â thatâs what got me here,â Johnson said.
When Johnson suffered severe injuries following a late-May motorcycle accident that nearly cost him his left leg and heavily restricted his mobility, it wasnât a matter of if he would walk again, but when.
A modified walker capable of supporting his left arm which had been fused at a 90 degree angle sat beside the fire chief as he recalled the past roughly nine months and the journey that led to him again being able to sit at his desk at his Lovingston business the Blue Dog.
Dozens of Nelson Countyâs migrant farm workers and other essential farm workers received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine over the weekend as health officials continue to work through phases of the immunization rollout.
With 200 available appointments, farm workers filtered in and out of the Nelson Center in Lovingston on Sunday for a mass vaccination clinic, one of several clinics to be held in the county since vaccination efforts began.
University of Virginia Medical Center personnel began administering the dozens of Pfizer vaccines at about 9 a.m.
It was a multi-organizational effort to bring vaccination services to farm workers in Nelson County, including collaboration from local growers, said Dr. Max Luna, associate professor of medicine in the division of cardiology and the coordinator of the UVa Latino Health Initiative.
