H. Steven Moffic, MD, discusses the anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic. He uses the word improvisation, also common in jazz music, because COVID was a time of collaboration and dealing with the unknown. What word would you use?

He celebrates the women in his life for International Women's Day in his column here.
