In honor of World Health Day, may we give many thanks and appreciation to our health heroes during this difficult time.

Health care workers all over the world are currently undergoing extreme work conditions as the spread of COVID-19 worsens. Even though a day in the life of a healthcare worker is always hectic, now, more than ever is the time to appreciate the millions of healthcare workers that are putting their lives at risk in order to save others.

Since 1950, each year April 7 symbolizes the day to celebrate the hard work of healthcare workers worldwide. While each year has its own theme, this year’s theme pays a tribute to nurses and midwives to recognize their many efforts in keeping the world healthy. Although today may highlight the amazing work nurses and midwives put into the world, it does not shy away from the other positions in the healthcare industry as well as mental health and other health conditions.

To all the healthcare workers at the frontlines working their hardest to help with victims of COVID-19, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for being the heroes we all need during this extremely difficult time, you deserve all the applause and recognition in the world.
