AHA is shining a light on the real issue of holiday-season stress to aid health care workers who bear heavy burdens on the frontlines of patient care.

A second new story explains how SSM Health St. Anthony Hospital in Oklahoma City supports trauma’s “second victim,” the health care worker who responds to the aftermath of a traumatic event, such as a vehicle collision or a severe case of COVID-19.
