One of four students spending the summer with the Gateway Centre of Excellence in Rural Health says her project will focus on the impact of COVID-19 on health care workers in Huron County.
Taylor Pratt said she sent out surveys to everyone involved in the fight against COVID-19 from front line workers to administration and custodial workers.
"It's researching the impact of COVID-19 on rural health care workers in Huron County and we're just investigating the impact that COVID-19 has had on the rural health care system," said Pratt. "Front line workers, but also second line workers, so it's anyone working during the COVID-19 pandemic, so anyone, really, who is working in the health care industry during the pandemic."
Pratt said her focus will be on mental health but she's also asking about personal health and well-being.
