We applaud and thank all of our frontline
health care workers for the sacrifi ces
they’ve made. And if you’re looking for
the best way to honor them, there is but
one answer: stay safe.
Mask up. Keep socially distant. Get the
vaccine when it is available to you.
Let’s do all that we can to thank and
protect our health care heroes —
because they answer
the call.
