Manage episode 297200065 series 2949750
On the latest episode of Generation 9/11, we are joined by Home Health Care Workers of America Vice President Joe Pecora. Joe joined the program to discuss the depths that home healthcare workers have had to go through to navigate a hotspot during a global pandemic. With 28,000 members on the frontlines daily, Joe was able to detail the lived experiences of those providing health care, and companionship, to those who need it the most. These are the folks that provide the necessary care to elderly and disabled patients who want to remain at home, as opposed to going into a nursing facility. From physical to mental ailments, home healthcare workers provide care real care, without always being properly recognized and appreciated.
