Of course, those who cannot go without recognition are the ones directly caring for the increasing number of patients in hospitals and ERs, despite the risk. Molly M. is one of those brave people, an RN in Ann Arbor. Her mother submitted her to us saying, “she is so strong and so sweet, holding hands of those who are scared without their family members.”

As you likely know, seniors are the demographic most affected by the Coronavirus, and especially need to keep safe. For those who have previous conditions, this is even more true. Luckily, we have people who care deeply about the elderly folk they serve, such as Senior Shuttle Plus and their staff who take seniors to dialysis appointments. “This is life or death for most seniors who go three days a week,” they told us, and now more than ever these seniors need to keep healthy.
