A great conversation with Dr. Irene Macyk, PhD, RN, Executive Director, Southside Hospital, Northwell
Irene takes us through those early pandemic days in Manhattan. Empty streets, refrigeration trucks at the hospitals, yet pots and pans could be heard clanging high above, celebrating healthcare workers each night. Irene shares a story about personal and team loss, how to inspire a team during uncertainty, as well as the optimism of “hope huddles” developed by her colleagues. She concludes with what makes a great healthcare leader today.
