Coney Island Hospital is getting a helping hand in the battle against COVID-19!
On Monday morning, local electeds and hospital officials lauded the arrival of military service members, sent by President Joe Biden to assist the southern Brooklyn hospital with the overflow of coronavirus patients in wake of the national Omicron surge.
“Right now our COVID ward is under-staffed and overworked,” said Mitchell Katz, president and chief executive officer of the NYC Health + Hospitals system, which controls the hospital. “We need all the help we can get. I am glad they arrived.”
