HONORING OUR HEROES ON THE FRONT LINES
At this time, we’d like to honor our students who are in the medical and first responder roles in this day and age. They are our heroes and should be honored for the work they are doing on the front lines of this battle.
Students like Dr. Mila Felder who works as an ER doctor. The following was from Dr. Felder on what’s going on in the ER, what you can do to at home and what you can do if you want to help those that protect us:
MASKS AND PROTECTIVE GEAR FOR HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM STAFF DESPERATELY NEEDED!
If you have access to medical face masks. Face protectors or any other protective medical gear, please reply to this message and we’ll put you in contact with hospital medical staff that are in dire need of supplies.
BUY AN ER COVID TEAM LUNCH OR DINNER!
Take part in meal trains for providers working in EDs, COVID units, and COVID ICUS trying to decrease exposures and care for patients.
Click Here for more details
We have many nurses and first responders in our current and past student base. If you are a medical professional especially if you’re working with possible COVID patients or you know one of our students who is, please let us know who they are and what they do so we can honor them as well in our next newsletter.
The one other person I’d like to recognize is Nurse Practitioner Stephanie Rapp. Her years of experience in Cardiac and ICU has always placed her in life saving situations on a routine basis. I’m proud to call her friend and look forward to possibly dancing with her at World’s in ProAm someday once all this calms down.
Again. Stay safe. Stay home if you can. Wash your hands. Don’t touch your face. And we hope and pray that you all stay safe and healthy. See you on the dance floor soon!
Love,
Brian & the Teachers at Chicago Dance Factory
