(CNN) Thousands of employeesat a hospital in the epicenter of America’s fight against the coronavirus are being rewarded for their hard work.
More than 4,000 hospital staff — including doctors, physician assistants, nurses, and facilities and food service teams — at NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst were surprised with a three-night complimentary vacation, Hyatt and American Airlines announced Friday.
