From the Editors

This issue of Healthcare Quarterly includes instructive research results, statistical analyses and case-study insights within and without the COVID-19 context. It also strikes a highly humanistic tone, a reminder that relationships are at the core of healthcare and that providing and receiving healthcare are profoundly personal and consequential. Organizing, running and resourcing healthcare require strong interpersonal and collective connections, shared accountabilities and agreement on goals that aim for a coherent, continuously improving health system and a safe, fair and caring place to work and heal.
