Community paramedic Karin Casciano speaks with a patient, 83, during a home wellness check on December 23, 2020 in White Plains, New York. The patient, an ex U.S. Marine, said the Christmas stockings were for his adult children, although he will not see them this Christmas because of the pandemic. Contracted by local hospitals, Empress EMS sends paramedics for follow-up visits to patients, some still COVID-19 positive, after their discharge from hospital stays. The visits are designed to help keep patients with chronic conditions healthy and out of the hospital, where they could either contract or spread COVID-19. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
