ABC News
The Rev. Hannah Rhiza at Cedars-Sinai Marina del Ray Hospital, south of Los Angeles, is trying to bring some comfort to an exhausted staff.
As the United States marks 1 million COVID deaths, comfort is something neither families of the dead nor front-line health care workers have known during the past two years.
The stress has been enormous for health care workers. The Rev. Hannah Rhiza at Cedars-Sinai Marina del Ray Hospital, south of Los Angeles, is trying to bring some comfort to an exhausted staff. Rhiza is the chaplain at Cedars-Sinai.
With the sound of wheels spinning, she moves her spiritual care cart down the hallways of the hospital to help staff take a moment to de-stress.
“These two years have been incredibly hard,” Rhiza said recently, while sitting outside the hospital.
