Let's put together a set of music today for our hero healthcare workers that are stepping up to help out when they are needed most.

If you are working in healthcare right now - THANK YOU for taking care of us. If you aren't, let's combine our musical brains together to come up with a set of songs for them.

For today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear for healthcare workers?

And if you want to enjoy a set of songs after the Coffee Break as you go about your weekend, thanks to our colleagues who put together this great Spotify playlist of songs too.
