When COVID-19 started to spread across the country, Montefiore Health System in the Bronx, New York, was at the epicenter, with more than 4,000 simultaneously hospitalized patients at one point.

On this episode of CANCER BUZZ, we’ll delve into the dramatic changes in care delivery this medical center underwent during the pandemic, lessons learned along the way that will help pave their way forward, and how the spirit of collaboration and innovation that emerged in 2020 will remain long after the pandemic.

“The degree of respect that we have for one another is greater... the degree of teamwork is better... and if we can learn the good lessons while we were doing [COVID-19], we'll be a better healthcare system overall as we move forward in the future.”

Una Hopkins, RN, FNP-BC, DNP,
Director for Research and Evidence Based Practice,
Montefiore Medical Center,
Bronx, NY
