I am leading a team of Pathologists joining Covid care at #NYUPathology

Families of Covid19 pts are not allowed in hospitals now

A team of NYU Pathologists will now be talking daily with families of Covid patients and informing them about their clinical status

(1/5) Covid care doctors & nurses are stretched & need our help

We will do daily chart review & join their daily patient rounds to learn about each patient.

We are each assigned a floor/ward & will speak to patient’s families daily; freeing up time for Docs & Nurses on floors
