Beginning in March 2020, many people were given the opportunity to safely work from home as COVID-19 spread across the world. However, some of those working in the healthcare fields did not have that same opportunity. Instead, they needed to be present on the frontline of this pandemic. Healthcare workers have had to deal with unthinkable and difficult circumstances: shortages of PPE, hospitals over capacity, treating patients virtually, caring for patients infected with COVID-19 and much more. Alpha Sigma Alpha is proud and thankful for our members who have worked in the healthcare fields throughout this pandemic. Thirteen Alpha Sigma Alpha healthcare workers were able to share more about their experience in the field since March 2020.
