Ensuring that health care workers have the personal protective equipment needed to protect themselves so they can treat COVID-19 patients is the top priority, AHA President and CEO Rick Pollack said today on Fox and Friends. “It is so important that our front-line health care heroes – the doctors, the nurses and other health care workers – have this type of equipment because if they get sick and they can’t be at work, then the whole system is going to collapse,” he said.
