The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge speak to workers at Surrey Memorial Hospital in a videoconference. VANCOUVER --
Much of the conversation focuses on the mental health impacts on the workers, their families and the patients in their care, particularly those who were isolated from their loved ones during treatment. "That's heartbreaking to hear, and you guys see that and feel that on a daily basis," the duchess said.
"Catherine and I just wanted to touch base and say how proud we are of all of you, everyone on the front line, who have led the way very stoically, very bravely, and have put patient care right at the top of the list and have done a fantastic job," he said.
