Crisis Conversations: A new and dangerous enemy — healthcare workers battle coronavirus at work and at home.

Many front-line healthcare workers are routinely exposed to the deadly coronavirus, and many of them have made the difficult choice to live away from their families in an effort to keep them safe. Congress voted to exclude healthcare workers from emergency paid sick and family leave, so these workers are themselves forced to choose between coming to work sick, or using personal time or unpaid time, to stay home. Front-line healthcare workers are also witnessing first hand as the country’s troubling health disparities play out, with devastating consequences for people of color. To dig into this crisis within the crisis, host Brigid Schulte is joined by healthcare workers including Dennis Kosuth, an Emergency Room and school nurse in Chicago and member of National Nurses United.And if you'd like to join the live Zoom recording of next week's program, sign up here:https://newamerica.zoom.us/webinar/register/4215871426699/WN_xBU94_OxTWKopBt_9cxKgQOn Friday, April 24, Brigid will be joined by Cali Yost, workplace strategist with the Flex Strategy Group, for a 30 minute interactive conversation about how the coronavirus pandemic may reshape work and work cultures.
