In these incredibly challenging times, healthcare workers are our real-life superheroes! Here at Memorial Sloan Kettering, our amazing staff is working around the clock to keep doing what we do best: providing safe and exceptional care to patients with cancer. From doctors and nurses to security, patient transporters, and cleaning staff, our entire team at MSK remains fiercely dedicated to our mission. 

To thank our incredible MSK Team, we launched a social media campaign highlighting MSK employees — #MSKHealthcareHeroes. We will be posting stories highlighting our staff’s dedication to our mission and patients during this challenging time to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn. From thousands of responses on social media to hundreds of handwritten cards and pictures, our #MSKHealthcareHeroes are feeling the love. 

Here are some of our favorite shots of our #MSKHealthcareHeroes:

Our labs are hard at work to do their part as well. MSK clinical microbiology laboratory technologists have been working around the clock performing COVID-19 PCR testing.

#MSKHealthcareHeroes really can do it all. The team from the David H. Koch Center for Cancer Care at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center sprung into action and helped a patient who was having some car trouble.

It takes all kinds of #MSKHealthcareHeroes to keep us running. We couldn't do this without the MSK Housing & Parking Services, who have been doing everything 24/7 from greeting patients to accepting packages to delivering patient vehicles from parking garages.
