Dear ASHHRA Colleagues,
Happy November! As we hustle into the 2020 holiday season, we recognize it will be a holiday season the likes of which we have never seen. My family, like many others, is trying to figure out where, how and if we are going to have family gatherings with the pandemic rearing its angry head just in time for the holidays. With all we have been through this year — COVID, masks, social distancing, shuttering businesses/restaurants, contentious elections — we’re due for a break. It’s not looking like we’ll be getting one, though.

During the pandemic, home health aides have buttressed the U.S. health care system by keeping the most vulnerable patients — seniors, the disabled, the infirm — out of hospitals. Yet even as they’ve put themselves at risk, this workforce of 2.3 million — of whom 9 in 10 are women, nearly two-thirds are minorities and almost one-third are foreign-born — has largely been overlooked.
