Since 2016, NYITCOM alumnus Matthew Heller, D.O., has been serving as a faculty member at NYITCOMDO and treating patients at our Center for Sports Medicine in the Academic Health Care Center. Now he's serving others by wearing his mask. 😷 Q: Who do you wear a mask for? A: I wear a mask because I care about my community. Whether it’s someone I know or a complete stranger I may be standing next to on line at the grocery store, I want to DO my part in preventing the spread of COVID-19. Q: Why is wearing a mask important? A: Wearing a mask is important because it shows respect to everyone you interact with. It shows your commitment to take that extra step to make sure you reduce the potential of spreading COVID-19. Let's follow Heller's example by practicing #BearCare and wearing our mask! We can #DefendTheDen together! 🐻💙💛
