Hope Huddles
“Hope Huddles”
The Northwell Health team has also helped inspire and motivate us during particularly challenging times; for example Emily Fawcett, RN, a nurse working on one of Lenox Hill Hospital’s COVID-19 units, helped launch an initiative that promises to provide positivity to her fellow front-line health care workers — something she calls “Hope Huddles.”
Northwell Health stands-out as a team of collaborators, healthcare professionals, research pioneers, and educators, caring for millions of patients each year. We are delighted to select the nurses of Northwell Health as the first beneficiary of Nurse Heroes and the 'Women Who Dared' collection.
