With DMAS wanting to return to in-person visits, they may need to change their mission statement as well. Currently they say their mission is “To improve the health and well- being of Virginians through access to high-quality health care coverage.”

If DMAS and the state want to improve the health of Virginians, they would keep visits virtual.  My family member has been able to avoid sickness the past two years thanks to limited in-person contact with unnecessary individuals. To revert back to in-person visits now, with not only COVID, but many other illnesses (RSV, Flu, etc.) wide spread, would just be foolish and uninformed. 

DMAS - remember you mission statement. The health of the individuals effected is important, especially when many won't have a say in the matter.
