Knowing the toll the pandemic is taking on the health-care system, more than 240 student volunteers from the University of Toronto’s Schools of Medicine and Nursing are offering personal support services to front-line workers.
These students are babysitting, picking up groceries and carrying out other tasks to help health-care workers and hospital staff manage increased workloads.
The students have expanded the program to more than a dozen medical students at other Canadian universities who are working to launch their own volunteer networks to help even more health-care workers across the province.
