Editor's note: OrilliaMatters is partnering with Orillia Soldiers' Memorial Hospital (OSMH) Foundation to pay tribute to the front-line 'soldiers' who are going above and beyond the call of duty inside Orillia's hospital in what is expected to be a protracted battle against the COVID-19 global pandemic. We will endeavour to publish this every Friday until the pandemic passes.
The heart and soul of OSMH, its 'soldiers,' are the front-line staff working hard to ensure the community's safety and well-being every day and throughout this pandemic.
The staff at Soldiers' is the community's last line of defence against COVID-19. This week, the hospital confirmed its first two cases of the virus and staff have been working around the clock to ensure they are ready to treat future patients with compassion and vigour.
These images depict the dedication of our local health-care workers who are committed to leading the charge against COVID-19 in our community. We applaud their bravery and selflessness in the midst of this global crisis.
To support our troops, please consider a donation to the COVID-19 Emergency Preparedness Fund: osmhfoundation.ca/donate.
