Under the watchful eye of Agathla Peak and just south of Monument Valley on the Navajo reservation, the Kayenta Health Center struggled under an onslaught of COVID-19. The center's only ventilator was in use on a patient in late April and, suddenly, the oxygen valve failed. “We had to keep him breathing,” said Grooms, an EMT volunteering with the Los Angeles-based Team Rubicon. After his shift ended, Grooms walked the 10 minutes back to his housing through empty parking lots and quiet playgrounds carrying his uneaten peanut butter and jelly sandwich in a paper bag. He sprayed his shoes with disinfectant, put his clothes into the washing machine and decompressed while soaking in the bathtub.
