University of Chicago Medicine staff are working tirelessly to keep us all safe while we are staying home to keep them safe. Let's give back and help fuel them with meals at this critical time. This is also a chance to support our local restaurants and delivery drivers. These meals support nurses, physicians, and additional staff caring for patients throughout the Hyde Park medical center. From the respiratory therapists who see all the very sick patients, to the environmental services team who cleans patient rooms, waiting rooms, and hallways, to social workers who provide comfort to families of loved ones. All these individuals play a critical role in ensuring that the hospital can respond to the growing number of patients walking through the doors during this pandemic. __________________________________________________ From UChicago Medicine: We are uplifted and heartened by your kind actions. Many individuals and organizations have offered to provide meals or non-perishable food to our staff. Since specific safety guidelines apply to these donations, we ask that you please contact Rebecca Balinnang to review the guidelines and schedule a drop-off location, date, and time. Food can be accepted by scheduled drop-off only. We can generally accept restaurant-prepared, individually wrapped food, and most non-perishable items. 1) Rebecca Balinnang Contact via email - [email protected] 312-877-0167 2) UChicago Medicine donation page: https://www.uchicagomedicine.org/patients-visitors/patient information/coronavirus-information/how-to-help 3) UChicago Medicine donation email: [email protected] Thank you again for your overwhelming expressions of caring and generosity.
