Community Stars: Healthcare workers put nearly everything on the line to fight a pandemic

Health care workers have been on the very front of the COVID-19 frontlines. They’ve put in longer hours, held the hands of patients suffering and — in some cases dying from — a debilitating respiratory illness; and separated themselves from friends and family so as to not put their loved ones at risk. Doctors, nurses, CNAs, physicians assistants, radiologists, hospital techs, assisted living and nursing home staff, school nurses, and more. From the hospital president to a clinic janitor, health care workers have been among America’s heroes during 2020. Working to fight the COVID-19 pandemic with nearly everything they have. Here are just a few of their stories from this year:

Community Stars: Homeless shelters worked to protect a vulnerable population during COVID-19 pandemic

“It affects everybody on every level,” said Brandy Wallar, director of New Visions Homeless Services. Demand is greater, yet the shelter has to limit numbers to allow for social distancing, she said. As of early December, the shelter’s 64 beds were full, and additional men were using its overflow area. “We try to keep overflow at 30,” which is less than it often was before the pandemic, she said. The number of people using the shelter’s food pantry is three times the usual level, Wallar said. “Last month alone, 10,534 community members went through our drive-thru pantry,” she said. New Visions held a large food giveaway on Oct. 29 at the Mid-America Center, Wallar said. The organization may try to do that again.
