THIS SPRING, most of us kept our distance from one another. We worked at home and went to school at home. We mourned lost jobs and lost opportunities, maybe even lost loved ones. And we waited desperately for the devastation of COVID-19 to let up. But many people, including a group of NMH alumni we spoke with in April and May, did not wait. They were on the front lines, taking care of sick people; or standing in the wake of the virus, helping others who were struggling. They were living NMH’s mission: acting with humanity and purpose. Here are their stories.
