“Our dedicated staff’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been nothing short of heroic,” Northwell President and CEO Michael Dowling said in a release. “Thanks to the courage and commitment of our front-line caregivers, we answered the call in service to the patients and communities who entrust us with their care.”
Northwell, a 23-hospital system, sees more than 2 million patients annually. Since the COVID-19 crisis began in early March, the system’s hospitals have treated and discharged more than 6,000 patients.
