Our providers and staff have risen to—and well above—the unprecedented challenges of caring for patients with COVID-19. Monmouth Medical Center (MMC) is proud and grateful beyond words for the indomitable spirit and incredible work done by our teams on the front lines.
A Salute to Our Frontline Heroes
An emotional “Heroes Salute Clap In and Clap Out” for MMC staff was held at the 7 p.m. change of shift on April 15. Long Branch first responders lined up in fire, police and EMS vehicles outside the hospital and sounded their sirens and ran their lights in tribute to hospital staff. The event was organized to recognize the incredible efforts of the physicians, nurses and entire health care team during the COVID-19 health care crisis, according to hospital President and CEO Eric Carney. During the event, the Monmouth Medical Center Foundation distributed “A Hero Lives Here” lawn signs so staff can proudly celebrate their dedication and sacrifice in their communities. The Foundation also ensured that staff members were well fed for the evening by coordinating the distribution of more than 500 donated meals.
Health Warriors Everywhere
Specialists from RWJBarnabas Health (RWJBH) Mobile Health, Behavioral Health and the Institute for Prevention and Recovery helped MMC and other RWJBH facilities and were always on hand to provide emergency care and support.
