Cleveland Clinic reached out health systems in the hardest hit areas of the country to provide assistance.
New York and Michigan requested help of available caregivers including critical care nurses, nurse practitioners, board-certified critical care and emergency medicine physicians, physician assistants and CT and X-ray technicians.
Cleveland Clinic is supportive of providing caregivers to help during this time and we remain well-staffed to handle any anticipated surge in the states where we have hospitals. The decision to serve is completely voluntary for our caregivers.
Should we experience an increased surge need at one of our own locations, Cleveland Clinic will bring our caregivers back to meet the needs of our patients.
