Every day, professionals in this sector engage in work that alleviates suffering, enhances health, and saves lives, whether they are on the front lines as nurses and doctors or behind the scenes in labs and administrative offices. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that our society relies on the important work of our healthcare workers and healthcare systems, without them, the very fabric of our society is greatly impacted.
