" I am only one; but still I am one.

I cannot do everything; but still I can do something.

And because I cannot do everything,

I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.”

~ E.E. Hale, American writer ~

Hope Huddles

As a float nurse, Emily Fawcett saw the impact that the surge in COVID -19 patients had on it's ER staff. Recognizing that the staff did not have the opportunity to learn the outcomes of the patients they sent intubated to the ICU, she launched an initiative that promises to provide positivity to her fellow front-line health care workers — something she calls “Hope Huddles.”

Now every ER shift at New York City's Lennox HIll hospital begins with Hope Huddles, bringing those positive patient stories back to where their hospital journey began.

“Spreading a little hope is everything to the doctors and nurses right now, We are really desperately trying to see the light at the end of this tunnel." Fawcett said.
