To Our Courageous Health-Care Workers, Thank You!

At this very moment, health-care workers are on the frontlines battling COVID-19. In our local hospitals and around the world, they are putting themselves at risk to help others during this unprecedented pandemic. Doctors, nurses, EMTs, technicians, pharmacists and everyone who supports patient care are fighting to save lives, while continuing to care for patients who have other medical conditions. All of us at AICR could not be more grateful for their selflessness and bravery.

We recently reached out to our online community of supporters to ask for their thoughts as well and received an abundance of positive feedback! Here are some of the messages of gratitude you shared with us:
