Eighteen-hour shifts. End-of-life care. Lack of proper equipment. Frontline health care workers have been facing seemingly insurmountable challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic.
And yet, they get the job done.
InStyle Magazine went state by state to celebrate these heroes. Trisha Wise-Draper, MD, PhD, associate professor in the Division of Hematology Oncology at UC, a UC Health oncologist and medical director of the UC Cancer Center's Clinical Trials Office, represented Ohio and discussed her contributions during this difficult time.
"Cancer never stops, whether there is a pandemic or not, making my position more critical than ever," she says.
