Our Heroes

Hometown Heroes Parade, July 2021

Healthcare workers from Columbia University Irving Medical Center and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital marched in New York City's Hometown Heroes ticker tape parade on July 7. Residents of New York City (and beyond) are incredibly grateful for the extraordinary service, dedication, and sacrifice that all our healthcare workers have provided our communities during this pandemic.
