Northwell Health Board of Trustees Chair Michael A. Epstein offered words of thanks and encouragement to front line workers this week at two hard-hit hospitals at the heart of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.
Epstein, of Sands Point, Long Island, toured COVID-19 units on April 29 at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park and North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset as well as a visit to staff at Cohen Children’s Medical Center.
“I felt it was important to see the life-saving work that’s being done at Northwell hospitals and to personally thank staff who have been putting themselves in harm’s way since this pandemic arrived in New York,” said Epstein, who is a senior partner at the law firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, in Manhattan and has served as a Northwell trustee for 15 years. “I came away amazed and inspired by the professionalism and dedication these selfless medical workers have displayed throughout the toughest crisis of our lifetimes.”
