In the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic (as of 4/8/21), more than 3,600 US healthcare workers and heroes lost their lives.  It seems that we are not actively reporting these numbers anymore. It is estimated that close to 4,500 healthcare workers lost their lives by this date which parallels the tragic events of 9/11 where 2,996 lives were lost.

We need to always honor these remarkable men and women every day of this war against COVID-19. They came from all walks of life and joined together as ONE to use their healing wisdom to care for others in need, risking their own lives when called to action.

- AIRSTRIP ONE COMMEMORATIVE BRACELET -

They are enduring unprecedented clinical staff shortages and continuous patient surges. They are watching as their patients and colleagues fall, but continue to treat, comfort, and study data to increase their knowledge while also educating the rest of us on ways to prevent getting sick. They are also collaborating with innovators, like AirStrip, and teaching us the lessons from the front lines that translate into the development of advanced surveillance tools, virtual acute care services and therapies, which are expected to transform patient care for decades to come. Pandemics are a once-in-a-century health crisis. This battle is different and will be won with the "Power of ONE."

To honor these every-day heroes, we have created a bracelet. We encourage our employees at AirStrip and healthcare provider partners to wear it as a symbol of remembrance… of gratitude… of hope and as an emblem of unity. For each life lost, for every survivor – our thoughts and prayers are with you.
