On the Frontlines of COVID

What we’re made of is incredible people. People like Stephanie Aguirre, a relief charge nurse that cares for HCA Healthcare patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) at Mercy Hospital in Miami, Fla.

Stephanie reflects on working the frontlines of #COVID19: “I always feel proud for trying my absolute best during times of uncertainty. Alongside my amazing team, I am able to take care of patients who are intubated, in septic shock and/or on multiple medications. After days of working hard, you get to see them recuperate and get transferred out of intensive care. I feel a huge sense of gratitude knowing that I have made a difference in someone’s life. Through this experience I have learned no matter the roadblock that’s put in front of me, I have the strength and perseverance to keep pushing forward. Giving up is never an option.”

Thank you to Stephanie, and all our front line heroes, for your unwavering dedication to provide lifesaving care in times of need. You are true heroes.
