Connections: A Provider’s Journaling Project
Welcome
Welcome to Connections - A Provider’s Journaling Project! We believe that each of you has a great deal to share about your personal and professional experiences during this extraordinary time. Through this platform, we wanted to provide a space where you can reflect on your COVID-19 journey, share your stories, and see what colleagues have experienced. Ultimately, our hope is to compile these messages into a historical COVID-19 compendium of experiences that authentically reflects this unique moment in time and gives a voice to what we collectively experienced as caregivers and as humans.
We thank you for your interest in this important initiative and we value your personal story. We also hope you will take some time to enjoy the stories from your colleagues on this page.
