Yet throughout it all, essential workers have stood strong with exceptional courage and have placed their wellbeing on the line so that we all may continue to get by. We are incredibly grateful for their service and want to honor them.

Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Scott Asner and Michael Gortenburg of Kansas City’s Eighteen Capital Group (18CG), are publicly applauding the invaluable service provided by essential and frontline workers everywhere.

Over the course of several months, Kansas City – and the nation at large – has weathered the storm of a novel coronavirus pandemic. Throughout this challenging time, every U.S. citizen has relied upon the essential services and unyielding courage of countless men and women working to make life possible and keep the most vulnerable protected.

These heroes are found in nearly every industry and sector, including:

  • Healthcare providers (including doctors, nurses, technicians, and EMS)
  • Hospital, medical facility and pharmacy workers (including administrative staff)
  • Law Enforcement and first responders (including volunteers)
  • Food and agriculture workers (including farmers, food transport and restaurant workers)
  • Public and community workers and volunteers
  • Construction and infrastructure workers
  • Energy sector workers
  • And more

“These are unprecedented times and we face extraordinary challenges in every aspect of our lives,” said Scott Asner, Founding Principal of Eighteen Capital Group (18CG). “Yet throughout it all, essential workers have stood strong with exceptional courage and have placed their wellbeing on the line so that we all may continue to get by.

“Our society depends on the efforts of this remarkable group of people,” added Michael Gortenburg, Founding Principal of Eighteen Capital Group. “We wish to publicly extend our sincere thanks and appreciation for all that they do.”

Scott Asner and Michael Gortenburg also wish to specifically commend North Kansas City Hospital, Saint Luke’s Hospital of Kansas City, the University of Kansas Hospital, and all Kansas City area workers for their dedicated efforts to keep their home city safe and operational.
