Dic Roush from the Guardian Angel community has put out a call for 300 SOF Medical Providers and LE Tactical /civilian NREMTs to come to New York City and man a 200 bed field hospital which will be under the auspices of NY Presbyterian Hospital named the Ryan Larkin NY Presbyterian Field Hospital in memory of USN SEAL Ryan Larkin.
REQUEST FOR SOF MEDICAL PROVIDERS
SOF Friends and Other Military and Civilian Medical Providers and Medics,
New York City is past the breaking point. The hospitals are truly overwhelmed. Besides the 5,000 beds or so being put in and around the city as field hospitals in field conditions, the major hospitals themselves are understaffed. At this point we are putting together teams of docs, other providers, Nurses and SOF medics.
Our first mission is to staff a 200 bed field hospital which will be under the auspices of NY Presbyterian Hospital which is comprised of Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Weill Cornell Medical Center. COL (Ret) Melissa Givens, M.D. will be the Medical Director. After that we will support other hospitals in need of help of which there are several.
The hospital will be named the Ryan Larkin NY Presbyterian Field Hospital in memory of USN SEAL Ryan Larkin.
Please be healthy and have no underlying medical conditions that put you at high risk.
Please fill out this form.
Also email Bryan Walsh at bryan@pjmed.com with your name, contact info, credentials, and what role you can play. He will begin to put together info on travel and lodging.
Please share this widely. We welcome civilian colleagues who are capable medical professionals and willing to work in field condition.
Thanks for your service and consideration,
That Others May Live
