Across the globe, healthcare workers have given their lives to protect and care for their patients and communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. All too often, this has meant significant risks to themselves and their families.
 
On April 15th, The Guardian and Kaiser Health News launched the ‘Lost on the Frontline’ collaboration to document the lives of healthcare workers in the U.S. who died from COVID-19. Inspired by this collaboration, the Canadian Health Workforce Network began to assemble this memorial of the Canadian healthcare workers who have succumbed to COVID-19 while working on the frontlines of the pandemic.
 
We extend our condolences to the families and communities who have lost loved ones during the pandemic and express our gratitude to the healthcare workers who have cared for and continue to care for us during these challenging times.
 
Please join us in honoring the lives and legacies of the healthcare workers whose names and photo’s we have collected here. Let us commit to honoring their lives by continuing to fight for the health and safety of healthcare workers, as well as that of the communities they serve.
