A picture is worth a thousand words — or even just nine of them.

Front-line healthcare workers in the intensive care unit (ICU) at Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC) have a message for everyone: “We’re here for you. Please stay home for us. ❤”

The photo of 17 ICU staff, who refer to themselves as The ICU Team at PRHC, also features a sign reading “Thank you ICU Angels”.

Vince Bierworth of Bell Media Radio in Peterborough, whose wife Lauren is an ICU nurse at PRHC, shared the photo with kawarthaNOW on Friday night (March 27).

The ICU Team at PRHC wants everyone to share the photo on social media with the hashtags #StayHome, #PRHCStrong, and #InThisTogether.
