I am constantly impressed by the bravery of the ED doctors, nurses, technicians and care teams in the face of some really difficult challenges this year. The Emergency Department is the frontline of this pandemic, and between increased patient volumes, patient boarding and multiple COVID-19 surges, everyone continues to show up to work. I know they are exhausted, but they continue to come in every single day and provide patients with the best care they can.
