The COVID-19 crisis came as an unpleasant surprise and a shock to many healthcare
systems and hospitals especially in the crisis epicenter of New York City. The
Bronx was one of the hardest-hit boroughs of New York City with significant negative
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its indigent population. SBH Health
System (formerly known as St. Barnabas Hospital) is an integrated system of an
acute-care hospital, ambulatory care center, trauma center, dialysis center, stroke
center, and other services and facilities serving the community of the Bronx. The
story of SBH in preparing for and managing the rapidly escalating surge of severely
ill patients at the onset of the COVID-19 crisis is a treasure of lessons in health crisis
preparedness and management at all levels, clinical, administrative, and financial.
This book draws lessons from the success of SBH Health System in tackling thedramatically fast unfolding pandemic from the perspective of the system as a whole
and from each of the specific departments which all played a significant role in
managing the local crisis of the largest threat to human health the world has seen in
recent years. Such lessons may benefit us and other health systems and hospitals
elsewhere in planning and preparing for similar crises in the future.
