On Saturday morning (March 28), we shared a photo from the team at the intensive care unit at Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC) with the important message: “We’re here for you. Please stay home for us.”
Front-line workers from departments across the hospital are now sharing similar photos on social media, all with the same message and including the hashtags #StayHome #PRHCStrong and #InThisTogether.
From the ICU unit to the emergency department to the COVID-19 unit and more, those who are on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19 at PRHC want us to know they are working to protect our health but that we have a responsibility to stay home and self-isolate — to protect our own health and the health of front-line workers.
Below, we’re including a few of the photos PRHC workers have shared so far on social media. We don’t have the photographer’s names, but we’ll add them if we find out.
If you want to ensure that PRHC’s healthcare professionals and staff have the tools, technology, and supports they need to to care for their sickest patients — and themselves — during this difficult time, make a donation to the PRHC Foundation at www.prhcfoundation.ca.
You can also visit www.prhcfoundation.ca to send a message of thanks to PRHC’s doctors, nurses, and staff. PRHC Foundation will collect them and send them out through PRHC’s internal communications channels daily, boosting morale and bolstering spirits for our front-line healthcare workers.
