“We are all our best version of ourselves when we are doing what we love, which I see every day in those who serve at the bedside in our hospitals and clinics,” said Carla Yost. “That’s never been more visible than during this pandemic.”

A second group, which includes four Via Christi nurses and two respiratory therapists, will be heading to Chicago to lend a hand to Ascension colleagues on Tuesday. Carla Yost, chief nursing and quality officer, says the two groups are among the more than four dozen Ascension Via Christi caregivers who have volunteered to go.
