Dr. Jasmine Marcelin, an infectious diseases expert and frontline healthcare hero, highlights the profound exhaustion and emotional toll COVID-19 has taken on medical staff and other essential workers. While healthcare workers perform their daily duties heroically, the pandemic has decimated their energy and well-being.

Marcelin argues that genuine appreciation extends beyond gifts; it requires everyone to step up, combat the virus, and reduce its spread to alleviate the burden on frontline personnel. An Assistant Professor at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, she is a fierce advocate for health equity, justice, diversity, and inclusion, and a prominent leader within the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA).
