“NYC Hospitals Obtain Waivers to Resume Elective Surgeries” - Lydia Hu
Thousands of New Yorkers waiting weeks or months for surgery at a hospital in the city will soon get a call from their surgeon to reschedule the operation. Northwell Health, Mount Sinai Health System, and Montefiore Medical Center got approval from the state to resume elective surgeries and procedures. “Teams across the health system have been working for weeks to prepare a safe environment at all our facilities so patients can be confident in coming to get the care they need,” a Mount Sinai spokeswoman said in a statement.
