Supporting local HEROs

Here in Lake County, we are extremely grateful for the healthcare workers—and all personnel working in healthcare settings—as they continue to treat patients affected by COVID-19. Now, these personnel (including those working at select area hospitals, like UF Health Leesburg) are invited to participate in the Healthcare Worker Exposure Response & Outcomes (HERO) Registry, which is designed to record experiences of real-life workers as institutions work to develop and strengthen their response to this health crisis, and future needs.
