Please join us for a panel discussion from frontline workers who can share first-hand what it has been like to work during the pandemic in healthcare. They will bring their expertise in areas like direct care in nursing and mental health from the immigrant perspective both from personal experience and sharing anecdotal situations from the communities they serve. Panelists include: Gabriela Dieguez, Anne Janisch, and Itza Vargas from Sixteenth Street Community Health Centers and Netzali Pacheco from Family Health/La Clinica.
