"COVID has brought us new challenges and a genuine opportunity to be part of the critical response to optimize the care we deliver not just to our patients but also to their families and caregivers. I am lucky, blessed to do this work every day and carry such a deep passion.

We are making a difference and impacting care in positive ways. We support not only patients, families, and caregivers but also each other, our colleagues, and other members of the health care teams.

We are all in this together — a shared commitment for assuring humanity in medicine. And each day, we hope that our eyes will see the best in people, our hearts forgive the worst, our minds forget the bad, and our souls remain ever steadfast in our faith, commitment, and love for this sacred medical work we are so lucky to do."

Patricia M. Fogelman is a nurse practitioner.

She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "A soul that never loses faith."
