I worked at the UWMC for many years and left 10 years ago. The nursing staff, RTs, PTs, PharmDs, MSWs, OTs, MDs, MAs, PAs, RTs and many other key stay were all the most dedicated, caring and hardest working people I have worked with. So much love for each patient!
Mir fehlen die Worte. Ihr seid unglaublich… Stark.

You are amazing for your compassion and hard work. Thank you so much! You Rock! UWMC is my go to hospital incase any of my family get sick. I know everyone is doing their best. Take care and be strong.
This is at the UW Medical Center where I received cutting edge care for aplastic anemia in the ICU and then two surgeries which saved my life. I have never received better care. Top notch doctors, nurses and support staff. This is what they are up against and it is scary. They are giving it their all and they desperately need our support and zero, literally zero ridicule or distrust. They are national heroes and treasures. Thank you! Respect and deep admiration.
Thank you for providing care and love to these patients. You are heroes ❤️
Oh my comrades bless and keep you!
Thank y’all for what you do .❤️❤️❤️ Amen 🙏
Thank you for all you do. I am awed by your dedication and the ability to provide such complicated care with such compassion. My heart and prayers are with you and your patients.
Thank for your tribute to the outstanding staff at UWMC
They are all loved so deeply. So profoundly
I worked as a travel nurse at UWMC for 15 weeks back in 2012. It was probably my best assignment. It was a great hospital (as evidenced by proper PPE for employees shown in these photos). Their Ortho-neuro Rehab, where I worked is the 3rd best in the U.S. Those people truly work miracles.
Thanks for all the photos…. warriors, angels & heroes …ALL the staff at U of W hospital are the Best‼️‼️
Please know how much you are all appreciated for what you are doing!! All heroes . . . all angels!! You are all awesome and perfect! Prayers for all, God bless and protect all of you!
You guys Rock. Moriah and Brandel, I admired your dedication, compassion and hard work to fight this COViD 19. As well as the rest of the crew. Known these couple for a few years back when I was still working at UW med surg unit. Ate Mimi, take care of yourself and stay safe.
Speechless. Remarkable tribute to an even more remarkable group of inspiring, exceptional people, to whom I extend my most sincere thanks.

Respectful and professional portrayal of the team it takes to care for a single patient with COVID. Now to multiply that by all the patients receiving care around the world! Staggering to say the least. Thank you for letting the public have a small window into this crisis.
