No One Should Die Alone
The separation of patients from their families is one of the greatest tragedies due to how the healthcare system responded to COVID-19. Throughout the country, hospitals, long-term care facilities, doctors’ offices, and more have banned visitors, forcing individuals to suffer alone. This horror continues to this day in many places.
The emotional toll on patients and loved ones is immeasurable.
We are working to change this.
Since March 2020, countless Americans were and continue to be forced into some sort of isolation/separation while they sought/seek medical care. Maybe it was:
months alone in a nursing home or long-term care facility
no visitor policy during a hospital stay
facing treatments (like cancer) … alone
giving birth alone
facing a doctor appointment alone
kids in the emergency room alone
and so much more
To ensure this doesn’t happen again, we need your help.
The NEVER Alone Project exists to:
Raise Awareness
our stories have been largely ignored by major media outlets.
Mobilize a community
to share our stories
Seek Legislative & Regulatory Change
so patients have the right to at least one screened visitor per day, no time limits
Heal together
so many of us that were alone or were kept from our loved ones have real trauma that needs either group therapy or grief counseling.
Your support helps us work to achieve these goals
