Around the globe, front line medical workers are hailed as the heroes of this age. We are praised for risking our own health to treat our patients during this crisis. Though we are grateful for the recognition, the risk need not be so great. Countless institutions are grappling with critical limitations in essential tools including personal protective equipment. We urge you to reach out to your local and national leaders to advocate for supplying our hospitals with the equipment we need to stay safe and continue caring for our communities. Protect your heroes.
