Dear Friends,

Months before the arrival of Covid-19 to our area, Greenwich Hospital launched an emergency response plan. We trained non-critical care staff in critical care; we expanded and reallocated patient rooms; we procured equipment and supplies; and we put pandemic triage protocols in place. We planned for the unimaginable and we were ready.

When the number of coronavirus patients multiplied, we grew our 10-bed ICU to 30. An entire hospital floor became a Covid-19 floor. Many of our resources were replenished with one call—to Yale New Haven Health (YNHH). Our health system partner helped provide ICU nurses, ventilators, and monitors. Several Yale Medicine physicians brought a special machine to Greenwich and assisted a pulmonary critical care specialist in stabilizing a grievously ill patient. YNHH was ready.

Concerned that hospital workers working double shifts might need extra protection and nourishment, community volunteers stepped up support through generous donations to our Covid-19 Fund. They arranged for restaurant meal deliveries to refuel nurses, physicians and the entire Greenwich Hospital family.  First responders from Fairfield and Westchester staged a drive-by rally. Our community was ready.

We know we can get through this because everyone contributed in some way. We are so very grateful to our generous donors who always stand with us at the ready.

With deep gratitude,
Noël Appel and the Office of Development Team
