Emergency medicine has been hit hard by COVID-19. We train to be in the trenches, we train for nearly anything. But it's hard to train for a pandemic. This week, and always, we honor all of our colleagues in healthcare and on the frontlines as essential workers who have died of COVID-19.

We are stronger together. Please reach out if you have a story to share or just want to talk. Take care and stay safe.
