NEWARK â As the chairman of medicine for Newark-Wayne Community Hospital, Dr. Gregory Heeb is fairly high up on the hospitalâs proverbial ladder.
So when he was given a chance to be the first Newark-Wayne employee to get a COVID-19 vaccine, he embraced the opportunity.
âIâve been here a long time, and even though Iâm chair of the department I do a lot of clinical work in the intensive care unit and COVID area. Thatâs why I think I was number one,â Heeb said Tuesday, about an hour after getting the Pfizer vaccine. âPart of this job is leadership, and that means leading the way. I was happy to do it.â
