Today marks five years since the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 a pandemic. To help us look back, Sandra Lindsay, RN, spoke with two leaders who were at the forefront of Northwell Health's response:
- Mangala Narasimhan, DO, director of critical care services for Northwell and medical director of the acute lung injury ECMO program
- John D'Angelo, MD, is the executive vice president and market president for Northwell Health’s Central Market
Like Dr. Narasimhan, Sandra was based out of Long Island Jewish Medical Center when Covid hit New York. At the time, she was head of critical care nursing at the flagship hospital. In this conversation, you’ll hear all three share their memories of what it was like inside some of the first U.S. hospitals to receive Covid patients in March 2020; how staff coped with this global pandemic and what measures and innovations helped turn the tide.
This is part 1 of their conversation. Check back for Part 2 Wednesday, March 12, and Part 3 on Thursday, March 13.
