Adrian and Diana are coordinators at the ICU Bridge Program (ICUBP), an initiative that strives to limit the mental health impact of the ICU on patients and their families. Through increased communication, heartfelt gestures, and innovative projects, such as the ICU Journals and PPE Portrait Project, university volunteers help to create a warmer environment in the ICU. To date, the program is active in four hospitals (although the PPE Portrait Project has recently expanded to seven), has raised over $14,000 since May 2018, has hired 160+ volunteers from seven different universities, and is estimated to help 20,000 patients and families annually.
