Strength. Courage. Compassion.

Our front-line health care workers demonstrate these virtues every day. As COVID-19 extends its reach and steals our loved ones, VCU Health doctors, nurses and committed caregivers of every specialty are in their rooms, at their bedsides, and with their families.

Despite fears for their patients, fears for their own lives and fears for those they come home to, they come back. They soldier on. They make a difference.

In this video, our front-line workers share their hopes and heartbreaks, their challenges and daily sacrifices, providing an intimate look at what it means to walk in their shoes.  

Help us help them. Be responsible. If not for you, then for those you love. Wear a mask. Wash your hands. And social distance.
