One year ago this week, the first U.S. case of COVID-19 was diagnosed in Washington state. Today, the nation is looking at some grim COVID-19 milestones, as host Dr. Jay Greenspan will talk about in his situational weekly update. He’ll also have a conversation with Sandy Gomberg, CEO of the COVID-19 Response Team for the City of Philadelphia. Sandy’s a nurse by training and practice, a former hospital and health system CEO, a health educator, and even the leader of  a health technology start-up. She’ll tell the story of the call she received last spring requesting her experience and leadership to convert a 10,000 seat basketball arena into a temporary COVID-19 overflow hospital, and her work partnering with Genesis Healthcare, a nursing home operator in Pennsylvania and Delaware - to stand up a COVID-19 relief center for Philadelphia’s most vulnerable residents. Finally, she’ll talk about why the eyes  and hands of nurses are so important to COVID-19 relief efforts worldwide.  Also, the Nemours Champions for Children podcast has been selected as one of the Top 25 Children's Health Podcasts on the web by Feedspot.
