The HERO Registry wants to hear from nurses, doctors, pharmacists and EMS personnel.
As health care workers experience a new level of strain and exhaustion combating the coronavirus pandemic and caring for COVID-19 patients, one newly created organization is looking to support them.
Healthcare Worker Exposure Response & Outcomes, or HERO, is calling on all nurses, doctors, pharmacists, EMS personnel and other employees in health care settings to sign up for the registry and share their stories. Dr. Adrian Hernandez, HERO Research Program Principal Investigator and vice dean for Clinical Research at Duke University, said the organization was created with two goals in mind.
“One is to understand what’s going on in the front lines of health care workers and hear their voices and concerns,” he said. The other is to develop strategies and interventions to protect them.
