During unprecedented times in our nation, athletics have come to a standstill as the entire industry is home and practicing social distancing in hopes for a quick return to normal. But as Mizzou's student-athletes, coaches, administrators and staff are working from home, essential workers from Mizzou's campus community are battling COVID-19 every day on the front lines. One of those areas is all of those at MU Health Care, who are continuing to report to work to battle the virus and help all of those in Mid-Missouri and the surrounding areas.
As a show of support for all of the health care workers in MU Health Care's system, Mizzou Athletics' coaches have taped messages for support and thanks as part of the #MUHealthCareHeroes campaign. Below are the messages from Mizzou's head coaches, supporting those heroes who are working to ensure the safety of our community. We are eternally grateful.
You inspire me every day #MUHealthCareHeroes. Thank you for taking care of us and making us safe. pic.twitter.com/HkdEN5pRyn
