I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude and appreciation for all of the healthcare workers and hospital staff. I was recently at Hotel Dieu for some routine procedures and I must say I was met with the kindest and friendliest staff. Each person I came into contact with went above and beyond in making me feel comfortable, reassuring me and of course, taking proper COVID precautions. Being there, spending just a short time with these wonderful people has really caused me to sit and reflect on all the hardships they have faced this year. We discussed how many of the nurses, doctors and other staff won't be able to see even their immediate family over the holidays as they will be working tirelessly to care for regular people like you and me. It is my hope for the holidays that we all each take a second to thank a healthcare worker and acknowledge just how much we appreciate their sacrifices. Employees who are overworked, under paid and sacrificing so much of their lives to care for complete strangers, to hold the hands of patients who are scared, becoming family to those who's families can't be with them. It takes incredibly selfless and kindhearted people to do that. Words truly can not express how appreciative I am. Thank you to our Healthcare Heroes.
