Maria Collins, Physical Therapy Assistant: I have always wanted to work in a field where I could help people. Even before the virus, we see patients at their most vulnerable state, and knowing that I can help them feel better and make an impact on their recovery inspires me. During this difficult time, it means so much that I can be there for my patients when their families cannot due to limiting visitors to protect everyone.
