1. My family has benefited 3x this past 10 months

in medical care.

In one case, emergency at home care by a physician was required in the early days of the pandemic.

Thanks from me to dedicated staff.

2. I'm grateful to hear that.

I find it heartbreaking that folks in these hard hit Covid areas aren't able to access regular health care, especially when they have emergencies.
