David Groch Tochman, Transfer Hospital Administrator, Problem Solver, and Shoulder to Lean On for His Healthcare Heroes on the Front Lines of Covid in LA

America Speaks Podcast

David Groch Tochman has the weight of countless lives on his shoulders. He is the administrator of 20 transfer hospitals, in Los Angeles caring for elderly and infirmed patients and treating and monitoring Patients Under Investigation as they wait to learn if they have the monstrous corona 19 virus. The stress is overwhelming on a daily six sometimes seven day a week role in charge of a large staff, and procuring protective gear which he knows is life saving David is navigating a world of horror that has presented challenges to him he never thought he’d see on the front lines of his critical care facilities. Yet despite the loss of life he sees from this pandemic, and the fear in his staff's eyes, he still finds a smile to wear on his face to keep his nurses and patients hopeful and upbeat.
