Entuitive’s Response to COVID-19
We recognize that there won’t be a single “new normal” following this pandemic, and that it is impossible to predict what the final impacts will be as we emerge from this crisis. We are continuously exploring potential solutions to design for what comes next. Our hope is that we can use what we learn together to build sustainable, inclusive communities now and in the future.
If you are interested in joining one of our regional roundtables of partners who are collaborating to share our experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, email us at covidresponseteam@entuitive.com and we will be in touch shortly to set up a connection.
