A ground-breaking study is looking into the challenges faced by front-line health care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The study will look at challenges faced by PSWs, nurses and custodians and is expected to be released Thursday morning (November 26th) in Pembroke.
The researchers chronicled (in real time) how front-line workers like those working at the Pembroke Regional Hospital and area long-term care homes coped as COVID-19 unfolded.
The study will also make key recommendations on what must be done differently as Ontario’s under-resourced health system faces the second wave of COVID-19.
Study co-author Michael Hurley, will be joined by Dr. Jim Brophy and Dr. Margaret Keith in Pembroke to release their findings and answer questions.
More details will be released as they become available.
