Marvel Comics: Nurses Are the Real Superheroes

Grab your tissues before you watch this video about real life superheroes in Pennsylvania.

Marvel created a comic book about real life superheroes. The comic book is titled ''The Vitals: True Nurse Stories'' and honors coronavirus nurses in Western Pennsylvania.

The Allegheny Health Network helped create the comic book and says, “Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been in awe of the courage and resourcefulness of our nurses, who put their own health at risk to care for these vulnerable patients. We are so proud of them, and we want to make sure they know how much we appreciate their exceptional work. We hope that in seeing themselves as real Marvel Comics Super Heroes, they can take a moment to look back in pride on their exceptional work and compassion during an exceptionally difficult time for our communities.
