There's a feeling of cautious optimism, but we don't know what's coming, we don't know if there's another variant. We know there's a lot of patients who need care that have been deferred that we need to also take care of, and we know our staff are exhausted. I think that's the critical balance : How do you take care of your staff mentally, physically and emotionally, while still taking care of the needs of your community ?

The work force is stretched incredibly thin, and that is taking its toll, it's been frustrating and exhausting and heartbreaking for those that are on the front lines.
