Would you tell us, in a short video made on your phone, about how COVID-19 is affecting you, and what you’d like to tell people about the virus?
Ballad Health is interested in hearing your message. Team members are working extremely hard and making sacrifices every day. We want to know how COVID-19 is affecting you mentally, emotionally and physically. What would you want the public to know and do to prevent more COVID-19 cases? Do you have a story you can tell to demonstrate the stress you’re under? How can the public react and help?
We’d like to see your videos and possibly share them on Ballad Health social media. The video doesn’t need to be long and it doesn’t need to be perfect. In fact, messages that are raw and authentic are more effective in showing the exhaustion, emotion and true feelings that result from working during a pandemic.
We recommend you capture your video message right after working a shift when you get to your car, right when you get home, or even in a break room after a shift. (Avoid filming during your work shift, please.)
Content/questions to answer (choose from any of the following):
- What is it like working in a COVID-19 unit?
- How has your workday/workflow changed since the pandemic?
- What would you want the public to know and do to prevent more COVID-19 cases?
Filming guidelines:
- Hold your phone in landscape as you film yourself.
- Ensure no patient information is visible or mentioned in video.
- Video should be no more than 2-3 minutes long.
Please send your videos to socialmedia@balladhealth.org. We want to see, hear and share what our team members are feeling and experiencing during COVID-19, and perhaps your messages will convince others to do their part in the fight against the virus.
As always, thank you for all you’re doing. Your hard work saves lives and makes a difference thousands of people in our region.
