(Describer) Title: Meet the Helpers
Hi. My name is Dr. Carr, and I am a helper. I am very proud of my job because I get to help you feel better. I am a doctor. Some scary things happened recently, but I want you to know that there are a lot of adults in our neighborhood working to keep you safe. Doctors are great helpers because they are there when you are sick or injured. In an emergency, doctors work very hard to help people feel better. Doctors like me are important helpers at our hospital, but we aren't the only ones. There are nurses, technicians, and many others that help, too. The hospital is full of helpers looking out for you. So, what's my job? To keep you healthy. What's your job? To be healthy.
(narrator) To meet other helpers in our neighborhood, go to meetthehelpers.org. "Meet the Helpers" is made possible by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a private corporation funded by the American people.
