Ep 6. Hospitals Under Attack

There are 62 hospitals across New York City, ranging from mammoth healthcare networks to the 11 public hospitals run by the city to long standing independent neighborhood institutions. Regardless of their size and resources, each one faced unprecedented challenges when the city became the epicenter of a pandemic that took the lives of as many as 800 New Yorkers a day. Over 76,000 volunteers came to New York to help those doctors and nurses through the crisis. The lessons learned are prompting changes across all sectors of healthcare.
