Workers of Worcester is a documentary photography series of portraits and interviews of frontline workers to honor the humanity of those who risk their lives and provide a space for their voices to be heard.
"Human"
"We are not only having stress from what we are seeing in the news and being outside, and the direct effects to our families, but we are also seeing the effects on our patients and their families."
"In a situation like this, which none of us have ever lived through – it makes us more human and vulnerable. Although we try as hard as we can to try and change the outcomes, sometimes we don’t succeed. Yet keeping present and being human for our patients and their families makes a great difference."
