Everyone in our country is grappling with our changed reality, and I am in complete awe of our Mount Sinai heroes caring directly for COVID-19 patients. I want to recognize a few of these brave people today.
Because of our transformation, we have been able to open additional units to help with incoming COVID-19 cases. Getting these units up and running is a complex task. Here are a few photos of many different teams working together to get our 5 Karpas unit ready several weeks ago. It was the first unit we got up and running in advance of the pandemic.
Many of our float staff nurses and others from our inpatient units care for the patients there. They are compassionate warriors who willingly and bravely stepped in to help our patients who need it most. They have also been patient with us as we’ve figured out how to communicate our operational changes as the situation accelerates.
