All Episodes

May 13, 2021 • 33 mins

Dr. Antoinette Ward has been practicing nursing at one of the largest hospitals in Atlanta for more than 25 years. She spoke with Rose the first week of the shutdown in March of 2020. She firsthand saw the number of cases grow and came up with new protocols when there was no template. And suddenly, Antoinette went from seeing thousands of patients of week, testing thousands of patients for COVID, to becoming a patient herself. So many people can relate to this past year being a year that physically, spiritually, emotionally, takes the rug out from underneath you. This episode is dedicated to taking a time out, and reflecting on the journey of this past year with Dr. Antoinette Ward. A year in retrospect, Antoinette looks forward and reimagines a new future. If you haven’t heard her incredible story, you can go back to our episode, COVID19: On the Frontlines that aired on March 17 2020. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
