New York City is the epicenter of the COVID-19 public health crisis, and the Mount Sinai Health System is at the forefront of the war against the virus. The New York health care system has the most patients in the United States, and unfortunately, the most deaths. Mount Sinai’s clinicians are caring for a vast number of NYC patients, and their researchers are developing tests, searching for a vaccine, and running antibody trials from the plasma of survivors.
Although preliminary results seem to show that social distancing and other measures have slowed the rate of infection, models suggest that New York is at or near the apex of this crisis right now.
Caring for the patients is physically and emotionally exhausting. Mount Sinai’s clinical staff, medical students, and researchers have all mobilized to help. Now you can help too. Philanthropy, now more than ever, is essential to making sure our heroes on the front lines have the tools they need.
