Did you know CORD Cares can help?
EMRA is donating $5,000 to CORD Cares in support of hurricane relief, to help out during your time of need.
To everyone dealing with the aftermath of this natural disaster: We are in awe of you! Sleeping in call rooms to keep your EDs open 24/7...wading through floodwaters to return to your families after shift...watching costs pile up during evacuations. It's a lot of added stress, especially at a time when the specialty is dealing with another COVID-19 surge.
But EM is a family, and EMRA has your back. Please reach out to CORD Cares if you need a hand. Know someone who may not see this message? Help us reach them by sending them a text/call/email to spread the word!
