New Hyde Park, New York, April
20, 2020 – Local first responders
paid tribute to Parker Jewish
Institute’s frontline health-care
workers battling the pandemic who
finished their shift on Friday, April
17, at 7 p.m.
Paying tribute were members of
FDNY Engine 251, along with New
Hyde Park, Manhasset-Lakeville,
Great Neck Alert Fire Company,
Bellerose Terrace, Stewart Manor,
Garden City Park and South Floral
Park Fire Departments. These first
responders were joined by members
of NYPD 105 Precinct and MTA
Police as well as Lake Success,
Kings Point, Floral Park and Oyster
Bay Cove Police Departments and
SeniorCare EMS.
Earlier in the day, Parker released
its first recovered COVID-19 patient,
James Tully, who doctors said was well
enough to return to his Bayside home.
“We are especially grateful for
our health-care workers who show
professionalism and empathy as they
tend to our residents and patients,
a very vulnerable population,” said
Michael N. Rosenblut, Parker’s
President and CEO. “Of course, we
applaud our first responders - the
members of our fire, police and EMS
departments – who stand with us
as partners in the fight against this
global pandemic.”
Adhering to the strictest and most
up-to-date guidelines put forth by
the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, NewYork State
Department of Health, Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services,
and other regulatory services,
Parker’s dedicated team of healthcare
workers continues to care
for patients and residents in the
face of an unrelenting pandemic.
In addition, Parker is in constant
contact with families so that they are
kept informed and can communicate
with their loved ones.
