Indiana National Guard members tasked with helping nursing homes respond to the coronavirus pandemic will return to their normal lives or move on to other missions over the next several weeks.
More than 1,500 National Guard soldiers were deployed to Indiana nursing facilities in November to help an exhausted staff care for residents. We have received countless notes of appreciation and heard numerous stories of how much this support has meant to all of you, said Dr. Dan Rusyniak, chief medical officer of the Family and Social Services Administration during Wednesday s press conference. The work of these soldiers has boosted morale, helped free up staff to provide clinical care, and has no doubt saved lives.
