LONDON, ONT. A Canadian online platform, Willful, is offering free wills to front-line health care workers amidst the pandemic. Over 4,000 front-line healthcare workers have received a free will, with the second highest percentage seen in London-area hospitals. Sarah Craig-Campbell, 36, is an emergency room nurse at St.Thomas Elgin General Hospital (STEGH) who created her will early last year when the first signs of the pandemic hit the region. Craig-Campbell works face-to-face with COVID-19 patients in the STEGH’s COVID-19 unit. “As an emergency room nurse I have become acutely aware of the fragility of life, and that it can be taken away at any moment, the pandemic has increased that. It s not just the old, not that old people don’t matter but it s younger people now too.”
