Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care

"We had a mother of one of our pediatric patients bring us donuts! The mother said, "She knows that our job is difficult right now and appreciates us being so present and pleasant." They also loved the song I sing when I am swabbing for COVID-19 and said it was the most fun COVID-19 testing experience they've ever had. Patients like this remind me why I chose to work in healthcare." - Lee Anne, Medical Assistant #PatientRecognitionWeek
