I'm super proud of my fiancee who is working an extra shift today at her NYC hospital to provide mental health support for the doctors & nurses who are frontline in combating #COVID19. These folks are heroes y'all. 1/

Yet she & her colleagues keep showing up & giving their best each & every day to protect & care for patients despite confusion & risks. They are adding shifts to take care of each other. NYC, have faith in the amazing ppl hustling to take care of us. 3/
