Celia Yap Banago – a Registered Nurse at Research Medical Center, Kansas City, Missouri – passed away on 21 April, 2020, due to COVID-19. Celia was 65 years old.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Celia Yap Banago, a registered nurse who had worked at Research Medical Center for more than 40 years, died after caring for a COVID-19 patient, according to the National Nurses United union.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“It’s horrible to find out that she didn’t make it,” says Charlene Carter, a registered nurse who worked at Research with Banago for seven years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

She was scheduled to retire next week. Carter says that she and Banago in late March treated a patient who was later found to have COVID-19. She says they treated the patient without N95 masks or any of the specialized protective equipment typically used when treating COVID-19 patients in intensive care units and other facilities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“I just feel like things may have gone differently had we had the proper protective equipment that we needed to care for our patient that night,” Carter says.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Carter remembers Banago as a five-foot “fireball,” who taught her to speak out on behalf of patients.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“She was so funny,” Carter says. “She always had a way to make us laugh.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n

National Nurses United held a candlelight vigil to honor Banago on April 23 at 8 p.m. at Research Medical Center.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
