COVID-19 has cost people their lives and their livelihoods. With the arrival of the vaccine there is finally light at the end of the tunnel, but the fight isn't over. The vaccine won’t be widely available yet, so we can't let our guard down with safety protocols. COVID survivors and business owners beg you to wear a face masks and social distance - these are crucial public health measures that we know can help slow the spread of the virus. Let's keep everyone safe. #MaskUp

When 13-year-old Ivonne Hernandez's Make-A-Wish trip was put on hold during COVID-19, the hospital arranged a visit from NYPD’s mounted unit and some special personalized Disney messages.

It was a hero’s reunion yesterday. US Army Corporal, Daniel Elliot returned home from a 10-month deployment to Iraq and Kuwait to surprise his healthcare hero mom, Regina Elliot, RN, who’s been on the frontlines in the fight against COVID-19. Regina is a nurse in the hospital’s outpatient surgical center, but during the COVID-19 surge, she was redeployed to the coronavirus units to care for critically ill patients. Corporal Elliot has been overseas since the start of the pand...emic and attempted to surprise his mom, but mother’s intuition kicked in and sent Regina running into the arms of her son. Thank you both for your service! U.S. Army
