Not only are most healthcare providers not receiving hazard pay, but some are even experiencing pay cuts. While hospitals should be responsible for taking care of their employees, we know that the corporate-level executives have failed to keep them appropriately safe and compensated.
Our Mission is to provide direct distribution of community-donated funds to healthcare providers who are currently working in the frontline settings (hospitals, post-acute, skilled nursing, home health, etc.).
We aim for equitable distribution of funds to provide direct monetary support to these irreplaceable workers who are risking their safety every day.
While providers appreciate donations of meals, flowers, and thank-you notes, nothing helps more than money. Workers whose hours or pay have been cut are especially in need of funds as they continue to need to pay for housing, basic needs, childcare, and student loans.
Recent news stories demonstrating that pay cuts for frontline providers are becoming more and more common:
