in Med / Surg and Stepdown units . In all of these instances , among many others , our staff stretched themselves to meet unimaginable circumstances .
As our frontline staff were tirelessly caring for our patients , our corporate teams worked quickly to support these heroes . They set up partnerships with hotels to offer over 3,000 rooms to clinicians , expanded options for childcare services , set up a sophisticated transportation hub including Citi Bikes , and arranged for free meals to be provided to everyone working at our hospitals . Regardless of their department and role , our employees rapidly sought ways to help each other and fight this crisis together .
