Darcy has been a nurse to COVID-19 patients who are confined to the hospital. She has been a comfort not only to patients, but also their families with whom she has contact with via the phone.

Heather is a fabulous nurse. She gives her all for her patients every day, and she always finds time to help other nurses as well. Her patients are so lucky to have her.
Respiratory Therapists
BJC, SSM, Mercy and St. Luke's
I want to thank not just nurses, but respiratory therapists as well. Respiratory therapists played a huge role during the COVID-19 pandemic, so let's not forget them! We work side-by-side with physicians, PAs, NPs, nurses and clinicians who all rely on our expertise.
