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.

OGDEN â Whitney Hilton, a nurse at McKay-Dee Hospital, understands some people may be leery of getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
âThe skepticism about getting a vaccine is reasonable,â she said. Itâs something new, its development was quick and, for now, it doesnât have a track record like vaccines that have been around for years for other ailments.
That said, after doing the research, reading up on the matter and asking some of the experts at McKay-Dee Hospital, sheâs all in. She got her first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on Thursday, joining front-line health care workers across Utah and around the nation who started getting shots this week. Sheâll need a booster shot but sees vaccination as a way to finally get past the pandemic.
