Heroes
This is Noemi who is a phlebotomist at a small community hospital. During the surge, she wore her N95 mask, surgical mask, gown, and bonnet for hours on end, going from room to room to draw blood, from the ER to the ICU and back. Her blood draws helped diagnose patients and give nurses and doctors important information about their current health status. She is an integral part of the medical team, and an often unseen warrior in the battle against COVID.
