Our COVID Heroes!
COVID-19 and Our Kidney COVID Heroes
As COVID-19 spread and was declared a pandemic in March of 2020, patient partners, clinical teams, leaders and BC Renal staff across our BC Renal network mobilized quickly. They rose to the challenge of dealing with many unprecedented changes to kidney care, services, transportation, communication and more. Clinical guidelines were developed and various communications with patients and health professionals were implemented to help everyone adjust quickly to the changes. Two web pages were created to provide a central location for COVID-19 resources: COVID-19 Information for Patients: BCRenal.ca Health Info Prevention & Public Health Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) COVID-19 Information for Health Professionals: BCRenal.ca Health Professionals Clinical Resources Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) All the hard work did not go unnoticed. To provide recognition of these efforts, BC Renal put out a call for nominations of “COVID Heroes.” More than 15 individuals and teams were nominated for their exceptional response to the pandemic, showing leadership and courage during a time filled with uncertainty.
