Ally Rando and Justin White
On opening night of the Arizona International Film Festival, organizers honored St. Maryâs Hospital nursing staff and associates for their hard teamwork and dedication during the pandemic. ICU nurses Ally Rando and Justin White attended on behalf of all their coworkers at St. Maryâs Hospital.
âWorking with patients throughout the pandemic has taught me how extraordinarily fragile life is and how vulnerable we can all be,â White said. âThis gave me a true sense of humbleness and gratitude for health and life.â
Festival organizers asked hospital leadership how best to honor and thank frontline workers for their integral part in serving the community throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The two nurses were asked to represent Carondelet caregivers and associates who have persevered treating COVID-19 patients in Southern Arizona, as well as supporting each other since the pandemic began more than a year ago.
