The Workers of Worcester

In 2019, UMass family medicine resident An-Hoa Giang, MD, and faculty attending Henry Del Rosario, MD, launched a photography project, Workers of Worcester, to document the stories of healthcare and other essential workers as they battled an unprecedented public health crisis and the even more deadly and pervasive evils of structural racism and social inequality.

FInd more of their stories below (and you will also see their images appear throughout our residency website.)
