Bøger af Wendy Welch

This collection of first-person accounts by doctors, nurses, and others at the front lines in Appalachia explains how rural communities have responded to COVID-19, addresses stereotypical assumptions about and challenges within rural medical care, and describes burnout and other long-term effects of the pandemic on health-care workers.

Her assessment is based on interviews with more than sixty social workers, parents, and children who have gone through "the system."
