Lastly, on behalf of the Piru Neighborhood Council and the Community of Piru, we would like to extend hearfelt thanks to Ventura County Public Health, their administrative team, all of the skilled nurses, and EMT’s, for providing this opportunity for us and for working tirelessly in their chosen fields as essential workers.
