Nursing In A Time Of Crisis

Nursing has been at the core of the International Red Cross Movement since the beginning and Clara Barton, the founder of the American Red Cross, first came to public attention as an amateur nurse who provided aid to soldiers during the Civil War.

Today’s Red Cross nurses are continuing a proud tradition of service that stretches back to the earliest days the organization, volunteering as clinicians, educators, leaders, and more. Red Cross healthcare workers exemplify the core values of Compassion; Expertise and Trust.

Fuel Up Safely In A Time of COVID-19

According to the CDC, current evidence suggests that COVID-19 may remain viable for hours to days on surfaces made from a variety of materials.

Cleaning of visibly dirty surfaces followed by disinfection is a best practice measure for the prevention of COVID-19 and other viral respiratory illnesses in households and community settings. This included surfaces like the gas pump.
