A few of our healthcare hero trip winners

COVID ICU Nurse from Massachusetts

Matt S.

Matt quickly volunteered to work on the dedicated COVID ICU floor in Boston, MA. He learned new skills, has taken care of the sickest COVID patients, and picked up many extra 12 hour shifts to fill the need.

Registered Nurse from Florida

Brittany C.

She is currently working in the trenches of the COVID-19 front lines. The stories she tells me of the things she is seeing and experiencing as she serves these patients are shocking, but every day she goes back to work with a smile on her face, ready to serve her patients and her team. Despite fears expressed by her family and friends and the sadness of missing out on our summer plans, she ran towards the fight.

Nurse from Colorado

Lori H.

Lori is responsible for calling individuals and notifying them if the COVID 19 test was positive. This free vacation allows her to step away from the stress of her work situation. Nature is how she recharges. After recharging this will allow her to come back to her job to handle the stress with a clear mind.

Nurse from North Carolina

Tommy F.

When the pandemic hit my husband signed up to be the charge nurse of the COVID ICU at Rex Hospital in Raleigh, NC. Tommy has stood up the ICU, and has been working tirelessly saving lives. He’s worked overtime. This could be a chance for our family to reconnect and make up for the time spent apart. For my husband to see how much his children have grown over the last few months. And it will give him a much needed break from working so hard, being on his feet all day caring for others.

ICU Pharmacist from California

Pamela C.

She is taking care of COVID patiences day in and day out with great compassion and care despite the challenges through PPE shortages and quarantining herself from her family including her daughters. Pamela is also a US Air Force Veteran who served during 9/11 and has just re-enlisted with the US Army Reserves to again serve the great people of this nation. She has always been selfless giving back to her patients, giving back to her community, and giving back to her country.

Nurse from Texas

Logan L.

My husband Logan is such an amazing nurse and I don't think he always gets the praise that he deserves. He will take the assignment/patient that’s in the most critical condition and steps up when others are scared. He’s a great caregiver and people trust their lives with him.

Registered Nurse from Colorado

Andy M.

Because he has extensive experience in the ICU, he was asked to change departments and start caring for COVID+ patients. He's a brave, strong, smart man and he definitely had some tough, devastating shifts, but we all survived. He self-quarantined to the basement, and wore a mask all the time while in the house. We have 2 toddlers, so it was tough limiting his interaction with them. I'm very proud of my husband for stepping up to the plate when he was needed most.

Registered Nurse from Kentucky

Amanda M.

Amanda has been working the frontlines in the ICU since mid March. She’s compassionately cared for patients like never before as patients have been in full isolation rooms, on ventilators and without any support from their family members. I know she’s grown so much during this pandemic and I am so proud of how she’s carried herself through it all. Her mental health has been affected, as one would expect, but she’s the most optimistic girl I know. She lives everyday with a positive outlook and that’s exactly the way she’s cared for these incredibly sick patients.

Nurse from California

Liana G.

For the past 3 months she has been caring for critically-ill covid patients on ventilators. Her work required her to do mandatory overtime and although my wife is strong, I see the stress that she brings home everyday. To protect our 3 year old daughter and parents, she has been self isolating at another location for 3 months now. She facetimes our daughter every night and visits her on her days off with mask, gloves, and social distancing.

Registered Nurse from Massachusetts

Taryn M.

Taryn has tirelessly worked through this pandemic being deployed throughout the hospital as a frontline worker. Taryn has worked in all capacities within the hospital. Taryn and her husband Josh have two school age children 6 & 12. Together while both working 40+ hours and covering mandatory calls have managed to also be teachers to the children. Trying to be everything to everybody is exhausting but both Taryn and Josh have kept moving forward.
