As we reflect on the past year and ponder the enormous challenges and losses that were experienced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are beyond grateful to our frontline health care heroes, essential workers in our communities, and you. Your support has helped make our response to COVID-19 possible. Three emergency funds continue to provide critical and much needed support to Yale New Haven Hospital during the ongoing pandemic.

• The COVID-19 PPE/Capital Provision Fund will secure essential supplies, personal protection equipment (PPE) and medical equipment that are in scarce supply.
  
• The COVID-19 Support Fund will continue to help care for our dedicated and courageous caregivers. In additional to operational expenses, the fund will help support special initiatives such as Oasis Rooms; quiet, private areas where staff can find respite at times of overwhelming stress. Available resources include meditation and relaxation exercises, spiritual care and counseling services. The fund will also provide staff with meals and area accommodations so that our front line care providers do not have the additional worry of increased risk of exposure to their families and loved ones.
  
• The Post COVID-19 Treatment RECOVERY Program Fund is a newly established fund to treat patients who suffer from lingering and often debilitating symptoms from COVID-19 that prevent them from working, exercising sometimes even from simply breathing easily. The fund will be used to expand staff, study patients’ experiences, and conduct research to find answers and new therapies.

We are incredibly grateful for your continued support. Thank you!
