She’s All Ears About the Call to Care

Taylor Schartz | Occupational Therapy Major | Class of 2021 | Hometown: Broomall, PA

The ears of healthcare workers are starting to feel the strain of prolonged use of elastic around their ears to hold face masks in place. Schartz decided to make headbands with buttons that allow healthcare workers to attach the elastic bands of the face masks to the buttons instead of their ears.

“I’ve been including a note of encouragement and thanks with each headband,” she said.
