At COVID Care Force, we believe it is vital to practice ethical service, which means integrating our volunteers into the community. It is important to work with the hospital networks and truly understand how the community thrives. Elisa Vale is a perfect example of working alongside those already on the frontlines and doing everything you can for the community you are sent to help. This is her experience in her own words:

I had a great experience volunteering with Covid Care Force! I was placed at WIHCC in Winslow, Arizona working with the Navajo Nation. I was working with Public Health Nursing primarily doing contact tracing, but I was also able to go out on the reservation to participate in a few of the drive-through flu vaccination clinics.

It was a huge learning experience for me to see all that Public Health Nursing does. In one of the more complicated cases I worked on, two other staff members (one was former CCF volunteer @wherestayler !) and myself went out to the reservation to bring supplies including a tent, a cot, bedding, water, food, and more to create a space for a patient to isolate from their family members. This reminded me of the importance of providing holistic care. We had to be thoughtful about what supplies we provided based on this patient and their family's specific needs and be proactive about communicating with the patient and educating the family. This case definitely required a lot of teamwork as we spoke with nurses, social workers, family members, and others to make sure we did everything we could for the patient and their family. It was an honor to be even a small part of the team that provided this care.

For anyone thinking about volunteering with Covid Care Force, do it! There is a huge need for volunteers and they are a great organization to work with. Go in with openness and a readiness to serve and in turn you will learn lessons and have experiences that will stay with you for life.”

@ElisaaVale is a fantastic example of everything a COVID Care Force volunteer is: she approached her job with an open mind and heart, and did everything she could for the people she met. Join Elisa and volunteer at COVIDCareForce.org! ... See more

Faces of the Force: Jack Shin

Jack was one of the first nurses to answer the call from the Chickasaw Nation in Oklahoma. Volunteers like Jack enabled these communities to create a comprehensive COVID-19 response and keep their hospitals open. Jack helped fill critical staffing shortages and truly embodies what it means to serve selflessly. No one describes what it’s like fighting on the frontlines better than our volunteers, and this is what Jack had to say:

“I loved my experience with COVID Care Force. I learned how to be a nurse in a crisis such as this, how to take care of myself and my team in a highly risky environment, and how to network with other healthcare professionals.

I loved doing such important work along with others who cared deeply for my health and safety. I loved meeting other brave people who have given up their time and strength to help in this time of pandemic. If you have the time and the ability, I highly encourage you to step into a role to serve at the very frontlines of a force against COVID. You won’t regret it.”

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves! Thank you for all you’ve done, Jack!

COVID Care Force is currently looking for nurses to support the Chickasaw Nation as COVID-19 numbers continue to rise. We can’t do it without you!

70,000. That's a hard number to fathom. It's even harder to imagine that on Friday, that was the number of new cases we saw in the United States. It's more important than ever to act. Our volunteers are working hard every single day to combat this pandemic, and every one of us can do their part by masking up and washing your hands.

Not only that, but they're now fashion statements! Do you have a favorite mask? What do you like? Patterns? Solid colors? Post a picture and let us know what your favorite kind is.
