This afternoon, local elected officials and Hospital Partners participated in a zoom conference call.
Again, my critique is pulling the health professionals away from the individuals in the health care facilities and on the day that 11 individuals have passed away, the first day for double digit deaths in Knox County is insensitive and wrong.
According to the participant list here are the 27 individuals that I believe are from the health field that were listed as participating on the call.
Dr. Keith Gray; Dr. Mark Browne, M.D.; Dr. Joe Childs; Dr. Frank Buerlein; Dr. James Shamiyeh, M.D.; Dr. John Adams; Dr. Mark Rasnake; Becky Thompson; Angela Sandel; Alana Lawson; Brian Holton; Jennifer Neal;  Stacey Whitt; ActivPanel; Ametz717; Brandi Lowell; Bruce Hartmann; Buddy;  Heather Waliga; Jim Vandersteeg; Joe Landsman;  Katharine Killen; Kristi K.;  Matt Schaefer; Patrick Birmingham; T Gross and Justin ipad.
From Knox County listed as participating on the call were Dwight Van de Vate, Knox County Government and of course Dr. Martha Buchanan, Knox County Health Department
