Abstract

As a historic year comes to a close, this edition of the Links Magazine will serve as a reflection of the incredible innovation and fortitude shown by our colleagues worldwide. For perhaps the first time in many, many years, 2020 was the year that humanity shared the experience of a common event of global proportions. Healthcare was placed front and center as the world watched from where they were sheltered in place. From varying cultures and perspectives, the nurses and midwives of the world were presented with a deadly challenge that came on quickly, and continues to plague many countries. As an ode to, and celebration of those on the frontlines of the Covid-19 Pandemic during this memorable Year of the Nurse and Midwife, we honor the brilliant resilience of our colleagues in this issue. We want to thank all of our partners and colleagues who have shown tremendous unity, courage, and fortitude during this time. Additionally, we will take a look back on previous Links topics to check in with the progress in palliative care, the climate crisis and more. Let this progress serve as a reminder that as with challenges faced in our past, even with a global pandemic upon us, we will continue to forge onward (at a safe distance), together.
