Sen. Richard Blumenthal honored the Newtown-Foster Home Care Agency for giving away thousands of PPE to local nursing homes and small businesses.
The founder says she was inspired by her mom to pursue a career that focused on helping people.
The company has been using its workers to help distribute cases of PPE across western Connecticut.
The Newtown-Foster Home Care Agency also founded Danae's Training Center, which provides EKG, phlebotomy and CNA training at no charge.
