Giving thanks to frontline health care workers
By Medicine Hat News on April 2, 2020.
It is time to express appreciation for frontline health care workers, and there are a couple ways you can get involved this week. Thursday 3 p.m. Revera Meadowlands Retirement Residence, 223 Park Meadows Drive SE, is thanking its staff. “The families and friends of our residents will be coming to surround the building ….. to cheer and show their support and appreciation of the staff, as well as their loved ones, our residents who are handling this unprecedented time like the heroes that they are,” said Mariah Czember, sales consultant with Meadowlands. Friday 6 p.m. Say thank you to front-line health care workers in general by putting your hands together and clapping in appreciation. Physicians, nurses, all those working at the hospital including cleaners and those in the laundry, those in doctors offices, paramedics, air ambulance operators, those working with seniors in residences, home care workers and more, are putting their lives on the line like never before to care for all of us during this COVID-19 pandemic. They understand the personal risks they are taking, but they are doing it anyway. If you are not at home on Friday evening, pull over and step out of your vehicle, step out of the building you’re in, or stand on a balcony and applaud enthusiastically. We want all health care workers to know how much we appreciate them. Please spread the word. 11-10
