“Our physicians, nurses, trainees, students, scientists and other health care professionals on the frontline of this fight are heroes. We will win this fight thanks to the efforts of many,” said Kenneth L. Davis, MD, President and CEO of Mount Sinai Health System. “Thank you to Marriott and #FirstRespondersFirst for your support of our community during this challenging time.”
#FirstRespondersFirst is an initiative of Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health,Thrive Global, and the CAA Foundation to provide first responder healthcare workers with physical and psychological resources they so desperately need as they serve on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic. #FirstRespondersFirst’s fundraising call to action helps provide critical supplies, equipment, and resources, including accommodations and meals, to healthcare workers, ranging from minimum-wage hourly workers in home-care settings to social workers, nurses, physicians, and beyond. Harvard Chan School, which has a distinguished century-old history of developing and communicating evidence-based environmental, occupational, and behavioral health information, provides evidence-based content specifically tailored to this demographically and socially diverse workforce powered by Thrive Global’s behavior change platform, delivering access to online workshops, virtual training, coaching, and content to help improve the physical and mental well-being of healthcare workers. #FirstRespondersFirst
