Kamloops Caremongers - Heather McIntyre
Meet Heather McIntyre, a pharmacy technician at Royal Inland Hospital
“The feeling at the hospital is perhaps stress of the unknown and fear of what’s potentially to come.
Emotions are high. Although people might be lonely and scared in self isolation, we have to remember that we are all in this together.”
Right now, our healthcare workers are on the frontlines battling the novel coronavirus disease that’s spreading throughout our city, province, nation and the entire world. These courageous souls cannot self-isolate with their loved ones or stay 6 ft away from sick patients. They are putting themselves in the path of this virus, in Kamloops and around the world.
The stakes are high and the challenges innumerable - too little information, dwindling personal protective equipment, changing protocols and no second chances. Yet, our doctors, nurses, technicians, transporters, EMTs, pharmacists, housekeepers and everyone who supports patient care are rising to the occasion and caring for our community before themselves.
THANK YOU for the sacrifices you make, every day and especially during this pandemic. Your dedication, commitment and bravery deserve our deepest gratitude and admiration. Thank you just doesn’t suffice.
Do you know a local company/organization or a local resident who is going above and beyond during the COVID-19 pandemic? If so, please let us know, as we would love to feature them and help spread some positivity.
Note, we are not asking for payment, this is just our way of giving back to our incredible community.
