Volunteers recruited to ease isolation of care home seniors


MICHAEL CAST
Hundreds of Butte-Silver Bow County seniors in care homes have been locked down in near total isolation as result of the pandemic, and virus outbreaks have taken 34 of their lives since late October.
Many haven’t been able to see their families in months.
Now, big-hearted volunteers who’ve recovered from COVID-19 at just the right time are being carefully vetted by the county for the chance to give seniors something they’ve been without — human contact from the outside.
The project is called “Breaking Down the Walls of COVID Isolation,” and Father Patrick Beretta, Catholic parish priest at St. Patrick and Immaculate Conception churches in Butte, is overjoyed to have a hand in it.

COVID-19 vaccine arrives at St. James Healthcare


MICHAEL CAST
A new era in the fight against the pandemic has arrived in Butte. St. James Healthcare received 975 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine Tuesday.
“This will ensure that our healthcare providers and first responders can continue to serve and provide care to members of our community when they are in need of care,” said Dr. Jennifer Davenport, St. James Healthcare’s chief medical officer.
Davenport said St. James will prioritize administering the vaccine in accordance with federal and state-approved guidelines.
“Ultimately, our goal will be to vaccinate as many of our nurses, doctors and staff as possible. Our initial efforts, as directed by state and federal authorities, will focus on vaccinating doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, cleaning staff, and first responders,” she said.
