Judy Suarez is a medical assistant at Mount Sinai Doctors – 780 Eighth Avenue. On her own initiative, she has been reaching out to many of our older patients to ask how they are feeling, if they need any prescription refills, and whether we can set them up for home delivery to avoid being exposed to the virus by traveling to a local pharmacy.
Judy is reminding these patients that it is important to stay inside during this pandemic and that they are at higher risk of catching the virus. Many of our patients in this population are not comfortable with smart phones and telemedicine visits, and she is reinforcing the best way to communicate if they need to reach out to our office with medical concerns.
Judy has gone above and beyond to help our most vulnerable population and make them feel tended to and less isolated during this crisis.
Rachel Cohen, MD, Mount Sinai Doctors – 780 Eighth Avenue
