Are you a health care worker dealing with coronavirus in KC? We want to hear from you
Dear readers,
The Kansas City Star believes in journalism that illuminates critical problems facing the public – the waste of public resources, government and corporate fraud, abuse of power, corruption, and injustice in all its forms. We have a commitment to telling stories that make a difference. We conduct journalism without fear or favor.
The new coronavirus presents unprecedented challenges as Star journalists work to understand the scope of the problems and ensure those in power are held accountable for the choices they make in this crisis.
Our reporters need evidence, including documents and multiple sources within the health care industry, to tell the most important stories in this historic time.
If you are a health care worker on the front lines of the pandemic in Kansas or Missouri, we want you to tell us what the public needs to know. Is your employer doing enough to keep you safe? Do you have the supplies and information you need? Are you treating COVID-19 patients?
In the past three weeks we have written about a national shortage of testing kits, the impact of dwindling supplies of protective equipment in hospitals and the financial strain COVID-19 is placing on healthcare workers. These stories only scratch the surface.
Please help us share your stories, and do important reporting that makes our communities safer.
