SALT LAKE CITY It s been a year since about 100 Intermountain Healthcare workers traveled from Utah to New York to help as that state was being overwhelmed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and health care workers held an emotional remembrance of the anniversary on Friday. Today is a day where I guess we can t say enough thank yous, Magdalena Litwinczuk, a surgical intensive care unit nurse with Northwell Health, said during a Friday morning news conference with Northwell and Intermountain.
Medical professionals from Utah traveled to New York last spring to help with the pandemic response at Northwell Health facilities.
Many of the Intermountain doctors and nurses who were called upon to help said when they traveled to New York, they were asked to help with things that weren t in their traditional set of skills.
