As coronavirus impact grows, volunteer network tries to help health care workers who have ‘helped us’
A volunteer network in Minnesota set up to assist health care workers amid the #coronavirus pandemic is attracting national attention.
It started with a need: With the closure of schools and a shortage of household supplies in local stores, health care professionals responding to the Covid-19 pandemic were struggling to support their families.
In Minneosta, a couple of medical students came up with an idea. Why couldn’t they help try to relieve the burden?
The result was a volunteer network throughout the state that matches medical students, has drawn together more than 350 volunteers and provided support to a couple of hundred health care workers — a number that grows every day.
