Description

In the space of one short week, the entire world has been put on high alert. And healthcare workers are at the front line. With a critical role to provide. We hope always to deliver the life-saving interventions needed for the patients entrusted to our care.

Nurses, doctors, respiratory therapists, leaders….we are now nearly constantly bombarded with COVID 19 information from both mainstream media and the various professional societies. How do we filter this overwhelming cascade to do the right things, right now? How do we provide the best patient care during these evolving times? And protect ourselves…and our families?
