“When COVID-19 hit New York City, it was a frightening time for us all. In spite of this fear, we felt called to protect our cancer patients, allow our health care workers to continue to function in a safe work environment, and provide a sense of hope that we would all get through this together. We found that even at our lowest moment we can rally together and still provide the best cancer care anywhere.”

“In crisis, I feel like my flight or fright response kicks in and I run towards the crisis. I was scared that working on the frontline would expose me to the COVID-19 virus, but I knew I had skills that could be useful to assist during the crisis. I could not just sit home and do nothing when I knew people were out there suffering and dying every day. I particularly felt it was important to volunteer to assist with the COVID-19 plasma research study because I wanted to be part of a project that was going to save lives.”
Kellie Bryant, DNP
“As the COVID-19 case numbers rose in the city and the risks were still so unknowable, I wasn’t sure I had it in me to put myself and my family aside to walk into the maelstrom. That was something I imagined firefighters doing, not me. But I knew Columbia had trained me for this, and had prepared me well. I had a duty to serve my city. And frankly, I couldn’t imagine myself anywhere else but on the frontlines.”
Jessica Hawley, MD
“I was motivated to assist during the COVID-19 crisis by one simple concept: We cannot allow a preventable death to occur due to a lack of personnel. With a shortage of PPE, nurses, doctors, and respiratory techs, it seemed critical that any able-bodied medically trained professional should come to the aid of both New Yorkers in need, as well as our colleagues in need. It was vitally important for members of the CUIMC leadership team to join the effort to care for patients to set an example that would rally the faculty, house staff, and nurses and demonstrate that they would not be asked to do anything that we were not willing to do ourselves.”
James McKiernan, MD
“I’ve learned that interdisciplinary collaboration is essential for positive health outcomes. Throughout my redeployment, I worked directly with nurses, medical assistants, security guards, physicians, infectious disease specialists, specimen runners, laboratory specialists, custodians...every single member of our team is invaluable. Diverse perspectives solve complex problems, and that has been quite evident this year.”
Claire Brieva, DNP
“I’ve seen so much incredible solidarity amongst my colleagues. Everyone who shows up every day in the hospital to help provide the best quality of care to people in one of their most vulnerable and sickest points in their life. We’re happy to be on the frontlines during this devastating pandemic, and we will be here as long as necessary to take care of everyone in our community and anyone else around this country and around the world that needs our care. We’ll be here for you.”
Craig Spencer, MD
“My patients are immune suppressed and are at high risk. I had a personal desire to protect them from exposure to and possibly contracting COVID-19, and I felt an overwhelming need to make sure that they were as safe as possible when coming to get care for their cancer diagnosis. As a nurse practitioner, caring for patients is a calling, not just a job. This was a public health crisis never seen before in my life and I knew I could help in some small way. It was super important to offer my skills and use them to the fullest to protect our patients who know us and trust us.”
Maura Abbott, PhD, CPNP
“We are all connected. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us the negative effects of this interconnectedness. Yet the creative human spirit has shown how we can use our interconnectedness to uplift and support each other and remain resilient. I’ve learned that honesty, empathy, authenticity, and consistency are key to facilitating the healing process and ensure those we encounter, especially our workforce, get the best care.”
Krystelle Pring, RN, OCN
“While members of my physician and nursing teams have bravely volunteered to help care for the many ICU patients—including COVID patients on ventilators—my charge has largely been to keep our staff and patients safe. We’ve made many positive changes, including incorporating tele-radiation oncology visits, that will ultimately make us more efficient and effective. The crisis has been an opportunity for team-building, culture change, and program improvement. My team is awesome and they’ve stepped up during these difficult times. What we have accomplished together is truly amazing.”
