ER nurse Stefanie Horneff added, “The whole front line community together. Police officers, firefighters, EMS., medics, nurses, doctors. Everybody in the hospital that are dealing with this every day. You kind of have this sense of family and having each other's backs." 

“It’s not just the doctors or the nurses, but the janitors, the security guards, the technicians. We can’t thank them enough for what they are doing in this pandemic," Chief Wysocki said.
