Latest Updates
Lyngblomsten is periodically updating this page with news regarding our response to the Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19). Please note that our priority is to provide frequent updates to those directly affected by the virus’ presence on our campus—i.e., our residents and tenants, their families/representatives, and our employees. We do that by communicating directly to them. This webpage is intended for extended family and friends, as well as the broader Lyngblomsten family—including volunteers, donors, delegates, and church and program partners. We are grateful for your interest and your prayers.
