Essential workers reflect on struggles and triumphs of 2020 December 23 2020
Editor s note:
Oregon newsrooms have partnered to share content to highlight the human toll of the pandemic. Our hope is this collaboration captures this historic nature of the COVID-19 crisis.
If there ever were an image of what it means to be a front-line worker this year, those at Occupy Medical a free clinic in Lane County serving the uninsured and unhoused would be it.
They ve operated for months at full-speed, clocking 16-hour shifts to provide care to those with the least access. Some even have been known to clock out, only to turn around and volunteer more time supporting the organization in other ways. Sue Sierralupe, clinic director of Occupy Medical said the conditions have exposed a depth of passion and human spirit.
