Then, we learn how fighting COVID-19 has changed medical care for the better. That conversation is in conjunction with Houston Public Media’s series Tested, which chronicles how health care professionals and fellow Houstonians were tested in the wake of the coronavirus to save themselves and others amid the global pandemic.
