I flew into the boundary and landed with a patient during a TFR without notifying ZZZ TRACON of my departure or route. I was fully aware of the TFR. I read the NOTAM. I had the phone number for ZZZ TRACON on speed dial. I received the notification for the flight via phone and text. The extenuating circumstance that I let allow me to lose situational awareness was when the office told me that this patient was COVID positive. I started concerning myself with securing the proper PPE and the steps necessary to complete the flight. I missed a crucial step of notifying TRACON.I have been thinking about this since the moment that I was notified. I have flown during many TFRs. On a personal level what I can do is take the time and create printed reminders all around the office. I had briefed the crew to help; however; they were fairly new and were concerned with critical patient care. It is of course my responsibility to make sure all steps are completed before; during and after the flight.
