Student Loan Relief
There is great news for Virginia college students! Recently, Governor Northam announced that those with privately-held loans can receive assistance under a new state initiative.

This initiative is also designed for students with a Federal Family Education Loan and Perkins loans. Click HERE to learn more.
Parents Encouraged to Have Their Children Receive Immunizations
Alexandria and the Health Department urge parents to have their children vaccinated for preventable diseases. Immunizations have declined by 30 percent since March. Vaccinations protect children from illnesses like whooping cough and measles and prevent community spread. Residents are reminded that appointments with your physician/pediatrician are exempt from the stay-at-home-order.
