Ruth Leon recommends… Medley – Northwell Nurse Choir
Ruth Leon recommendsMedley – Northwell Nurse Choir
I know I’m a week late for Independence Day but I just found this and wanted to share it with you. In front of the Capitol in Washington DC, on July 4th, an amateur choir of working nurses sings to a gigantic audience of their fellow countrymen and women, gathered to watch the fireworks.
The Nurse Choir was formed in 2020 when a talented group of front-line nurses got together online for their first appearance on Nurse Heroes Live, a needed reprieve from the battle against COVID-19. These nurses—who hail from different specialties across Northwell Health’s many facilities—have successfully managed to make a name not only for themselves, but for all front-line workers, positively impacting the lives of those touched by their music at a time when the world needed it most.
I find this medley touching, a true tribute to the strength of America and the optimism we have always associated with the American people, no matter how sorely tried. And the indomitable spirit of those who believe they can help themselves and each other out of whatever hole they’ve got themselves into.
