Patron Saints of Health Care Workers

Healthcare workers deliver care and services to the sick and ailing either directly as doctors and nurses or indirectly as aides, helpers, laboratory technicians, and medical waste handlers. The nature of their job puts them at risk of catching communicable diseases including COVID-19.

We have created a list of alphabetical saints to call on during these troubling times. Most medical fields are covered.
