Protect Your Heroes

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.

This art piece is brought to you in collaboration with the narrative medicine project, From Our Frontline and the Art of Emergency Medicine. From Our Frontline is a collection of written and visual art created by frontline medical staff working at a safety-net hospital in Los Angeles County. This collaboration serves to showcase the experiences of doctors, nurses, and other staff in their endeavor to heal a community in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
